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.
