Default USB Memory Sticks

Hi just a quick (newbie kind) question....
I transfer tracks as wave files back and forth between another computer and mine regularly. Does anyone have an opinion on using those USB Memory Sticks as far as loss of quality,etc.....
I'm sick of plugging and unplugging my external hard drive all the time as it is awkward to access..
Any advice would be appreciated........Thanks.

Default Re: USB Memory Sticks

You are making a bit-for-bit copy of a data file - the computer and memory stick don't care what the file type is. The only way you can lose quality this way is if the file doesn't get copied accurately. I'd be LOT more worried about your computer if this happens.
