USB flash drives are compact and easy-to-use flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB interface. The term “USB flash drive” is a generic term used to describe these products without specifying a particular manufacturer. USB flash drives are sold by many different companies under a variety of different proprietary product names such as JumpDrive, DataTraveler and Attaché, to name just a few. The term “USB flash drive” is used in the same manner that the term “DVD” and “CD-RW” are used; to describe the technology in generic terms. Other common names and terms are pen drive, memory stick and thumb drive. 

They’re virtually universally compatible with all Laptop and Notebook PCs running Windows 98SE and higher, as well as many MAC OS systems that have a USB port.

Flash drives for storage offer several advantages over competitive devices:

  • Optical storage (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW),: USB flash drives are more robust and portables than optical storage devices, coming in smaller packages and not susceptible to surface scratches, which can damage the stored content. USB drives can be re-written many times, unlike some of the “-R” varieties of optical storage that can only be written once
  • Floppy Discs: USB flash drives are generally faster and can hold more data than floppy discs. They also do not require an internal drive- just a USB port.
  • External hard drives: these are best suited for back-up and storage of large amounts of data, up to several hundred GBs. USB flash drives are substantially smaller and because they have no moving parts, tend to be more durable than HDD-based solution.
