What are the advantages of flash drives?

USB flash drives are very inexpensive, common storage devices; you can even regularly find them given away for free as promotional items. Even though they're cheap and ubiquitous, though, don't overlook the power of these little storage devices -- they can be highly useful tools for always having important documents and program settings on hand. Besides being very small and cheap, USB flash drives are really simple to use: plug one into a computer's USB port and you can access the documents stored on the drive immediately. You can also run portable programs from the drive without having to install them on the host computer. Because program settings (e.g., favorite bookmarks in Firefox) are also saved on the drive, it's like having your own personal computing environment with you wherever you go.

Flash drives are becoming increasingly common today and can be seen on keychains and even necklaces. What is it about this technology that makes it so ubiquitous? As it turns out flash drives have a number of distinct advantages over other existing storage technologies, and each of these contributes a great deal to the product's success. Flash drives are tiny, often fitting on a keychain. It is exactly this portability that has made the flash drive so commonplace. In the early days of the technology it was more compact than a floppy disc yet contained significantly more data. Today many flash drives easily edge out CDs and even DVDs for both portability and the amount of data one can fit on them. Unlike most internal computer hard drives and some external hard drives, flash drives have no moving parts inside them. This makes flash drives a great deal more durable than conventional hard drives, which make use of a moving head to write and read data that can be jammed when dropped. This is also no small part of why flash drives are so much smaller than conventional hard drives.
