USB Flash Drives
USB flash drives, also known as memory sticks or thumb drives, are portable storage devices that connect to a computer’s USB port. They use flash memory, a type of non-volatile memory that retains data without needing a power source. This makes them reliable for storing data over time. The drives come in a range of storage capacities, from as little as 2GB to over 512GB, catering to various data storage needs.
Typically, USB flash drives are formatted using FAT32 or exFAT file systems, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. This allows them to be used across different devices without requiring reformatting, making data transfer between systems straightforward.
