Anything would do. Unless you're going to use it for something later, it's
overkill. The C64 Mini can only do USB 2 speeds.
I'm sure I have a bunch of cheap old flash sticks: I will try to remember
to bring 'em.
Seems my plan to see if C64 Mini distros would work on a Pocket CHIP are
thwarted by an older processor and weird proprietary boot code. Dammit!
Wish I had a use for that paperweight!

Yeah, perhaps clarification is in order.
The C64 Mini has two USB 2.0 ports on the side for connectivity and a
single micro USB port on the rear for power.
Thus far, I have been discussing the connectivity ports. If you wish
to use three USB peripherals like the included joystick, a keyboard, and a
USB flash drive, you will require a USB hub. I am using an unpowered hub
and it works but depending on the power usage of the items you plug in,
you
may require a powered hub.
The micro USB port on the back power the C64 Mini itself. While a
micro USB to USB cable is included, you will require a AC to USB adaptor
like the ones that come with phones and tablets etc. You’ll also find USB
ports on a lot of power bars these days. If you’re going to use the C64
Mini with just the included joystick, a 5V/1A power adaptor is fine. If
you’re going to be plugging in additional items, you may need to give it
more power (1.5A or 2A should do it.)
I am using an unpowered hub for connectivity and a 5V/2.4A AC to USB
adaptor.
THAT should clarify things. ;)
