Flash Drive

The USB flash drive is a tiny storage device that uses flash memory. It connects to a computer via a USB port.  A flash drive is usually portable and rewritable. A single device can store anywhere from 64MB to 256GB and more depending on the model’s capacity. Because flash drives are so small and portable, they can also be used to transfer data between two computers. USB flash drives are often used for the same purpose for which floppy disks were used. They are smaller; faster, have thousands of times more capacity.
A USB flash drive has many advantages, when you insert the USB drive into the computer, you do not have to reboot the machine for it to recognize the device. You can start using it immediately. Flash drives are very reliable. The most common use of flash drives is to transport and store personal files such as documents, pictures and videos. Flash drives are used to carry applications that run on the host computer without requiring installation.
