How many of you guys use a USB Flash Drive?

Flash drives are best to use because of its portability. But as a storage I recommend that you make backup in CDs because flash drives can get corrupted if not handled properly. This is the most common issue with most storage devices. Corruption happens when there is an interruption while the device does a process. For example, removing the flash drive while copying files to it. This can cause corruption which makes the device unaccessible which means that you can't also access the data stored in it. All electronic devices need to be handled properly to prevent malfunction and if you take good care of your flash drive then it will last for about 2 to 5 years depending on its quality. It its branded, then much better... =)

i have a flash drive of 1 GB capicity, it is reliable than floppy disk

well 10 gig will be too much of a space....i have a 2 gb one and i have the whole back of my documents in it...and ofcourse once u buy Flash drive u can entrust it....it all depends on you how to use it...after all these are technical products and u cant predict their life....they can crash up in a year and sometimes work without any concern till 10 yrs also...

USB Flash drives are very popular now, and is very difficult to do without. But just keep in mind an incident that happened to me. Most computers have a USB port in front to accomodate removable USB equipment like a drive etc. I once stored data in a USB drive and forgot to remove it from the computer in the office. When I was away someone has knocked on that and it got bent and badly dented. I could never recover the data.

I don't use it.Get a hard disk drive if you want to store 10 gb of data.

Don't rely on it. Because it is easily gets damaged with the viruses and become useless. It happened with two of my Drives that got damaged with the virus. And also it can be damaged physically. So don't rely on it just put your temporary data on it.

I use a USB Flash Drive pretty often as it is much more convenient to use than a floppy disk and more portable. I always tell my students about it, especially if they do not have a floppy drive on their computer or do not have a cd burner to copy important information or programs.

Yes i use USB Flash Drive, I think this is very Good, But why do you want to buy 10GiGa, this is too much, I use only 1Giga . Thanks dude
