I personally use a Sandisk SSD. I got mine at Costco. Otherwise you can use any flash drive that is formatted to work on Mac or both Windows and Mac if you are transferring files between a Windows and Mac device.

Do a google search or look on youtube with the following query, "usb format for mac and windows" and you'll find a guide on formatting your USB to work if you need help.
