USB Flash Drive
The USB Flash Drive is a portable storage device for computer equipped with a USB port. E-mailing files to yourself and carrying around floppy disks is something from the past. Accessing and transporting data has been made easier with the USB Flash Drive. These devices plug directly into your USB port on any compatible computer and can support up to 2GB disk space. USB Drives are "plug and play" compatible devices. Simply plug the drive into any USB port and the computer will automatically detect it as a removable drive. You can read, write, copy, delete and move data from your hard disk drive to the USB drive or from the USB drive to your hard disk drive.
