Tired of the mountain of floppy disks, CDs, or zip disks with your research and/or course information that you transport back and forth from home to work? There is a new form of storage that is smaller, faster and even more portable as well as easily transferable across platforms. What is this little gem called, you ask? Why, a USB flash drive! USB flash memory drives come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They are about half the size of a pen and as wide as magic marker. Some can attach to your keychain or a lanyard. You can purchase drives from 32MB - 2GB of storage space.
You simply plug it 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. It's as simple as that! USB drives range in price from $30 - $300 depending on tha amount of storage you need.
