The USB Flash Drive

Do you remember the time when we all use an external storage disc also known as floppy disc to save our data in our computer?  Eventually, people learned to use compact disc and dvd with the aid of CD or DVD writer to save larger files.  But to date, files and data storage and management has turned far more efficient, faster to open and easy to carry and bring along with the flash drive.  Flash drive is the most portable plugged-in storage device in the high tech world of files management.  Flash drive is more kind of a memory card or chip that can be connected via usb port.  Unlike the memory card which requires a card reader, the flash drive is a plug and play device.  Storage capacity can range from 64mb up to 256gig, compatible with all known operating system.  With the invention of flash drive, our PC and laptops becomes more compact and lighter. I still remember my first laptop, an IBM thinkpad with a floppy disc drive. So bulky and cumbersome.  Now, most mini laptops have usb port for flash drive and the absence of optical disc drive for DVD. 

Flash drive is a portable hard drive you can bring anywhere. How cool is that.
