Erik Gauger asked:
A USB drive is a plug and play storage device. It uses flash memory and is very lightweight. It can be used in place of a CD or a zip drive disk. It is recognized as a removable drive by computer. Custom USB Flash drives does not require rebooting after it’s attached, does not require batteries or an external power supply, and is not platform dependent.
With a USB drive, data can be retained for long periods when the device is unplugged from the computer, or when the computer is powered-down with the drive left in. It is very convenient to transfer data with the use of USB.
Their capacity ranges from 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB and there are many forms of USB drives available in the market.
They are more compact, generally faster, hold more data, and are more reliable (due to both their lack of moving parts, and their more durable design) than floppy disks. These types of drives use the USB mass storage standard, supported natively by modern operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS X, UNIX and Windows.
Some of the Best USB flash drives are: Imitation flash wristband, very stylish. Corsair flash voyager wraps their Flash Voyager, including the cap, with rubber. This makes the USB flash drive a true water-resistant portable storage. The 256MB flash drive with fingerprint authentication can encrypt up to 10 different thumbprints, 200 website logins and all the bookmarks.
Sony Ultra Mini Micro Vault 256MB is approximately the same length as little finger, the miniature version of the Micro Vault comes with an array of software to keep the data synchronized and protected. The 256MB USB flash drive may look just like any other commodity drive out there, but this one offers Active Disk technology that allows you to run free applications like Open Office, Music Match and Poco Mail Portable on the Micro Mini.
Flash drive capacities on the market are continuously increasing. 64 MB and smaller capacity flash memory has been largely discontinued and 128 MB capacity flash memory is being phased out. Flash drives implement the USB mass storage device class, meaning that most modern operating systems can read and write to flash drives without any additional device drivers.
Flash drives can sustain only a limited number of write and erase cycles before failure. Mid-range flash drives under normal conditions will support several hundred thousand cycles, although write operations will gradually slow as the device ages.

USB Flash Drive, New Solution for Storage
Last Updated on Monday, 3 January 2011 12:23 Written by databank Monday, 3 January 2011 12:23
Christopher Liu asked:
The basic criteria determining the choice of a USB flash drive.
The size and weight of the flash drive are the first criteria to consider. Its essence lies in its small size and light weight. Designed to fit the key chain, some models have attachment pad or ring and can easily be dipped in your pocket. Real objects in the trend, the USB key are placed in the same rank as mobile phones. They come in all shapes and colors. In short, the design of these materials develops daily. The choice is varied, depending on taste. Technically, the range of variation in the capacity of USB drives on the market is quite wide, ranging from 256 MB to 16 GB. Because of its popularity in most cases, the USB key must be robust. The USB can twist over time. So, before purchasing you should always check if it is securely attached to the remainder of the key. Sport models are also available with the shell padded shock proof.
The first technical criteria determining the choice of the USB.
Speed is essential for a quality USB key, because despite high storage capacity, some USB sticks are too slow for data transfer. It is advisable to choose a 2.0 High Speed USB for high transfer speeds (approximately equal to 10 MB per second), not to be confused with the USB 2.0 that it is not as fast. Also with the High Speed USB, the port to which the key will be connected must support USB 2.0 High Speed transfer rate, otherwise how fast it is, but it would not be optimal. Besides the need for a computer to have the option of a USB port, the key should also be compatible with the operating system. For newer operating systems like Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and the latest Linux, recognizing the USB is not a problem. The problem lies in machines with outdated operating systems like Windows 98 or Windows Me. With earlier operating system, the installation of drivers is needed for the USB key to be recognized by the machine. In this case, it is best to change the operating system or download the driver software for the USB key on the site of its manufacturer, as most USB drives on the market are not accompanied with drivers CD.
To choose your USB key
For a complete satisfaction after buying a USB key, determine in advance the storage capacity according to the criteria of uses that you anticipate. For carrying office files, a key having a capacity of 16 MB to 64 MB is already more than sufficient as compared to what is offered by a 1.44 MB floppy. For storage of certain programs such as MP3 or a light video, you need to look for a key having a capacity greater than 128 MB, fortunately, actually there are some models can store up to the capacity of 32 GB
Prior to purchase, you have also to determine the operation interface of the USB key. The question is whether it is a USB 1.0 or USB 2.0. The older version, that is to say 1.0, although slower, it can easily perform data transfer of low capacity, but while the larger the data being transferred the more the transfer time is extended. For example, to transfer 256 MB on a given USB 1.0, it will take 4 minutes and 15 seconds or 255 seconds, whereas with a USB 2.0, it will just take 37 seconds or 6 times faster. In general, the maximum output of USB 1.0 transfer is 1 MB per second and against 7 MB per second for USB 2.0. Moreover, there is not a huge difference in the cost between these two. For compatibility, if all USB function without driver installation on machines running Windows 7, Vista, XP and others, it is not the same for those on Windows 98, which require installation to operate. In this case, always check the installation CD that comes in the packaging of the key or it can be downloaded. For those who use the ancestor Windows 95, forget the use of a USB key unless you change operating system.
The latest generation of USB flash drives comes with U3 technology, which allows the use of certain software compatible directly on the USB. As a result, installation of software is no longer necessary. Everything is done on the key. A mobile office is now at your fingertips.

Bharat Bista asked:
Synopsis: Sell/Recycle any flash storage device you have with flash-based memory. Any USB cards or sticks, any digital camera cards like Secure Digital (SD), SmartMedia, CompactFlash, MiniSD, MicroSD, MMC, and Multimedia Cards. In general, any storage device that still works or may even be broken.
Today modern computers both laptops and desktops come with SmartMedia slots built-in and not only at the corner of the desktop and laptop computer world but in the digital camera sphere as well, the flash based storage devices today grip its monopoly as it is the latest “electronic film” with several advantages, noiseless, faster, lighter, bigger and with no moving parts; furthermore, it is rewriteable.
Components: A SmartMedia card or any flash based storage card or USB device consists of 1-4 NAND flash EEPROM microchips. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory is a non-volatile storage semiconductor chip that can retain the stored information even when not powered. These semiconductors are solid and its electrical conductivity can be controlled either statically or dynamically. Semiconductors are identical to insulators but are Silicone, and is the prime raw material for all these microchips.
Semiconductors Production and use of Hazardous Substances: Preparation for semiconductor materials requires high levels of chemical purity as even a small existence of impurities can have large effects on the properties of the chips. Furthermore, these materials have to be doped with other elements to adjust its electrical response as a current carrier by controlling the number and charges being either positive or negative.
Due to this requirement of high chemical purity, semiconductor devices require raw materials have to go through series of purification processes from melting to re-solidification through several chemical reactions to produce these modern marvels.
More then eight week of manufacturing is required to process these products through multiple chemical processes and disposition process like Chemical vapor deposition, Chemical-mechanical planarization, and Ion implantation etc. Altogether these USB devices and digital camera storage cards (flash memory chips) have to go though over 300 sequenced processing steps and eight or more levels of major compound procedures.
In this processes many toxic materials and harmful chemicals are used as catalyses to purify them. These substances primarily as listed below are the prime pollutants, and are one of the main causes of miscellaneous cancer and genetic diseases we are facing today and our children will face tomorrow.
Poisonous elements such as arsenic, boron, antimony and phosphorus; poisonous compounds like arsine, phosphine and silane. Highly reactive liquids, such as hydrogen peroxide, fuming nitric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
Computer Recycle & The Environment
Today we at eProvided.com are apprehensive about the wastes that are being generated from electronic products. Those small silicon wafers that allow computers, digital cameras, gadgets, etc. to function, are insatiable abuser of chemicals, water, fossil fuels, and gasses like nitrogen. Just to produce a single semiconductor microchip, it requires over three pounds of fossil fuels, almost a quarter pound of toxic chemicals, seventy pounds of water, and over a pound of nitrogen and all have direct & adverse effect to our health; furthermore, are the prime components for cancer, nervous system disorder, reproduction health and genetic malfunctions.
Now Imagine, the total number of these cards produced this year, 115.7 million in 2006, and 88.2 million in 2005. Linear to this figure are the aggregate effects on the environment.
Hence, if you are the user of SmartMedia cards, SD cards, CompactFlash cards, USB Sticks, USB Thumb Drives, digital cameras, and any other devices including the latest gadget and gizmos like MP3 players and Digital Voice Recorders, remember your responsibility for today’s environmental hazards. These products all use flash memory silicone chips.
Instead of throwing these materials away anticipating it will organically decompose, do remember to either recycle or sell them for reuse.
