USB flash drives weigh about the same as a
car key – in fact, some USB flash drives are so
lightweight that hypothetically it could take 14 ants to
carry one!
USB flash drives are about
the size of a stick of gum.
USB flash drives currently
can hold up to two gigs of data – that's over 650
three-minute songs (33 hours) recorded as MP3s or about
three times the content of a standard compact disc.
If you share a computer,
USB flash drives are a great way to store personal
information – use them instead of the computer's hard
drive.
According to some
manufacturer's specifications, USB flash drives can
maintain data for 10 years – in that same period you’ll
probably have to replace your computer’s hard drive
three times.
