The three most important words in data processing:chefann said:A flash drive is the floppy of this millennium. It works just the same way - you can write and re-write to them. But, just like a floppy, they can fail and should not be considered permanent for archiving purposes.
Or just back up away from the computer - you aren't meant to use it... Just had to through that in there...little IT joke...The_Kitchen_Guy said:The three most important words in data processing:

That would be my in-laws. We were at their house the other day and FIL had all the same questions about the computer that he has every time we're over there. Later in the conversation, MIL tried to tell him something about it, and he told her, "I know what I'm doing when it comes to this!" It was all I could do to keep from busting into laughter.janetupnorth said:Or just back up away from the computer - you aren't meant to use it...

A flash drive, also known as a USB drive, is a small and portable storage device that can be used to store and transfer data. It works by plugging it into a USB port on a computer, and the data can be accessed and transferred between devices.
Flash drives are very convenient and easy to use. They are small and lightweight, making them easily portable. They also have a large storage capacity, allowing you to store large amounts of data. Additionally, they are compatible with most computers and devices, making it easy to transfer data between them.
To transfer files, simply insert the flash drive into a USB port on your computer. Then, open the file explorer and locate the flash drive. You can then drag and drop the files you want to transfer onto the flash drive. Once the transfer is complete, safely eject the flash drive from your computer and it will be ready to use on another device.
The main difference between a flash drive and an external hard drive is their storage capacity. Flash drives typically have a smaller capacity, ranging from a few gigabytes to a couple of terabytes, while external hard drives can hold much larger amounts of data, ranging from a few terabytes to several petabytes. Additionally, external hard drives are usually larger and less portable than flash drives.
Yes, flash drives can be used for backups, but they may not be the most reliable option. Flash drives are more susceptible to physical damage and data corruption compared to external hard drives. It is recommended to use a flash drive as a secondary backup option and to regularly back up your data onto a more reliable device.
