Universal Serial Bus or USB Drives are compact and generally are connected to the USB port to transfer data between PC and USB Drive. If your PC does not have a USB port then you can use a USB connector to connect the drive. USB Drives are also known as; pen drives, flash drives, or thumb drives. USB Drives have been used as an alternative to floppy disk drives. Comparatively it is smaller, faster, removable, and more user friendly than a floppy drive. And the capacity of this drive is many times more. It supports USB-2 which is more faster than any other USB. It supports about all operating systems(Windows, Linus UNIX, MAC, etc).
Some key features to consider when you buy:
1. Capacity: How much capacity do you need?
2. Shape, Size and Color: Since its works as pocket/pen drive too, so size and shape, color, and design can be important factors to users.
3. Automatic Install: Choose the drive which will install automatically. If not, manual install may be boring to you. Here you should see the security features too.
4. Budget: Budget is also a significant factor when buying something.
5. Warranty: See the warranty start date. It may start from the production date! Yes, tell retailer to clarify the warranty period if necessary.
