Best USB flash drive for used Tajima machine

I just made the switch to the usb from floppy disk and want to make sure I use a small usb thumb drive. I heard that the ones from hirsch are real expensive and want an alternative but don't want to buy the wrong thing. Amazon has many to choose from, which is the best.

Which is your Tajima model ?
I use Gotek USB emulators from many years,and no problems.

I'm also wondering about this. I also recently converted to a Pinpoint USB emulator and am not satisfied with the 2G thumb drives I purchased on Amazon. They work but each thumb must be formatted before each use and it will only hold one dst file. The machine is an original Neo purchased in 2002 and may not have the most recent software so that may be at least part of the problem.

For Gotek USB emulators I've formatted once the USB stick.
I used 2Gb,4Gb,8Gb,16Gb capacity.
