Whether you refer to it as a pen drive, jump drive, thumb drive, key drive, or
memory stick, you have to admit, the USB Flash drive is pretty darn cool. Just
stick it into the USB port on your computer and within a few seconds a new drive
appears on your desktop. So simple and so easy. What makes them so good is that
they have a spate of desirable features such as no need for batteries, solid
state storage, good transfer speeds, durability, portability, and expected data
retention of ten years. All of these features allow these little babies to
practically replace the floppy, the Zip disk, and the CD-R/RW all in one fell
swoop.
