Technically speaking there is no set limit, as technology grows - so will the size of a USB Flash drive. ------------ To my knowledge the most memory you can have on a USB flash drive is 256 GB.

It depends on the flash drive you have. I have heard of flash drives as large as 256GB, but there may be larger drives available now. Look at your flash drive; it should have the capacity printed on the drive. Sometimes the capacity is on a small label stuck to the drive somewhere. If there are no markings on the drive, you will need to put it in a computer and read the capacity. However, be careful if you do not know where the drive has been. You could infect your computer with malware just by inserting the drive in your computer (especially if it is a USB drive).

The capacity of a USB Flash Drive ranges anywhere from 1 GB (Gigabyte) to 128 GB if not more... usually in stores u can buy them in 1 gb, 2 gb, 4gb, and 8 gb. Sometimes stores carry them in 16 gb but rarely. I have just seen a 128 gb USB flashd drive 3.0 that has amazing transfer speed but is very costly. ($350)

it depends on the type of storage, it can range from (in Gigs): 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on, in that form. if the USB is reformatted, it can lose a portion of its max storage to siulate RAM
