Sometimes it is very necessary to save this or that very important file for you, but because of its special value it is dangerous to store it on the computer, or there is simply not enough free space. And it happens that you have downloaded some interesting game or a new fascinating film from the Internet, and you want to share it with your friends, but it takes a very long time to burn a game or a movie to disk, or there is no possibility at all, and all the information will not fit on a floppy disk. In this case, it is best to use a USB stick.
A flash drive is a separate type of portable medium for any important information. It differs from other types of media (floppy disks or disks) by its compactness, high transfer rate of available information and versatility, as it fits absolutely any computer. Its main advantages include low cost, wide choice and ease of use. Flash memory is widely used in mobile phones, wristwatches, and network equipment. You can easily record any text documents, photos, videos, music, games and various program files on a USB flash drive. You can read information from it, edit it, delete it and create a new one. In addition, no matter how many times you connect a USB flash drive to a PC, it will not deteriorate from it. External negative conditions also hardly affect it. In the event that water gets on it, it will be enough for you to gently wipe it and wait until it is completely dry, after which you can use the device again. All flash drives differ in their design, interface type, additional features, and, of course, by its capacity. New flash media with a large amount of memory appear regularly. On some models there are special various add-ons with which you can prohibit or allow the deletion of certain files. This function is very convenient, for example, if you let a friend transfer the necessary information. The speed of data transfer depends on the type of interface of the flash drive. The design of flash drives is the most diverse. Some models can be made in the form of any original figures. Some manufacturers produce flash drive models with a special protective cap that fits over the USB connector and protects it from external influences. On other models, you can see indicator lights that show the operating status of the flash drive. For convenience, a special eyelet is made on many of them, to which you can attach a lace or hang keys, a keychain. Thus, the flash drive will always be at hand and it will become more difficult to forget it.
