USB Flash Drive

technology · data storage · portable

Pocket-sized storage. A USB flash drive is small and light, usually weighing less than 30 grams (about an ounce), so you can carry it anywhere in your backpack or pocket.

Plug and play. The drive has a built-in USB connector that plugs directly into your computer, laptop, or tablet to transfer files instantly without needing any extra cables.

Huge growth in power. Since USB drives first went on sale in 2000, they've grown from holding just 8 megabytes to storing up to 4 terabytes today, which is over 500,000 times bigger.

Reusable many times. You can erase and rewrite files on a USB drive up to 100,000 times depending on the type of memory chip, and the drive can last between 10 to 100 years if you take care of it.

Perfect for sharing. USB drives are ideal for moving large files between computers, backing up your homework, or sharing photos and videos with friends.
