USB Drive FAQs 

 

Q.

 

What is USB Drive?

 

A. USB Drive 

is a compact, removable, portable, flash memory based data storage device that 

works via your computer’s Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. 

USB Drive 

does not require a 

battery or any external power because the 

USB Drive 

uses the power supplied by the computer or 

USB device it is plugged into. You can store and read files of any type in 

USB Drive

 and then 

transport them to any other computer that has a USB interface.

 

 

Q. What can I use USB Drive for? 

A. USB Drive 

can substitute conventional storage devices because of its convenience, portability, 

flexibility and reliability. 

USB Drive 

replaces the floppy disk, zip, or CD for your laptop or your 

desktop computer. 

USB Drive 

is reliable because it is shockproof, small, and there are no moving 

parts inside. It conveniently stores and transfers data, such as audio and video files. You can also 

carry files, which are too big to transfer or are highly confidential. 

 

Q. How long can I use USB Drive? 

A

. The lifetime of 

USB Drive 

is related with the expected lifespan of flash memory. Like all 

semiconductor technology, flash memory has no moving parts and is expected to last for many 

years. 

 

Q. What operating systems does USB Drive work with? 

A

USB Drive 

works with Microsoft Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista, Mac and Linux. 

 

Q. Does USB Drive work for Windows NT? 

A

. No. Windows NT does not support mass storage devices that use USB interface.
