USB Flash DrivesUntil recently we had to depend on bulky floppies, zip disks and CDs to store
all our digital data - not a great fit in our increasingly mobile lifestyle.
However, with the emergence of the incredibly compact USB flash drive, you can
now fit a world of data in the palm of your hand. USB flash drives are small,
plastic devices that connect to your computer via a USB port with the capacity
to write and copy data from an internal flash memory chip. They are similar
in function to your computer's hard drive, but provide you with the freedom
of portability. Another key advantage of a USB flash drive is that they can
maintain data for as many as ten years, far greater than the lifespan of most
hard drives. Attach one of these tiny devices to your key ring, put it in your
pocket and take a world of information with you wherever you go. To use this
revolutionary device, simply insert the USB flash drive into an available USB
port and drag files to and from the drive. Your computer will recognize your
USB flash drive as an external drive, and allow you to drag and drop data from
the USB flash drive window. The only difference among USB flash drives is storage
capacity, transfer speed (determined by the type of USB Connectivity - USB 1.1
or USB 2.0) and appearance such as size, shape and color. If you prefer a drive
that is more functional, you can get an MP3 flash drive player that not only
stores data but can also allocate space to hold and play your favorite tunes. |
