USBmuistid

USBmuistid, commonly known as USB flash drives, thumb drives, or memory sticks, are portable data storage devices that utilize flash memory. They connect to computers and other devices via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. Their primary function is to store and transfer digital information, such as documents, photos, videos, and software.

The technology behind USBmuistid relies on non-volatile flash memory, meaning it retains data even when the power is off. This makes them ideal for carrying data between different locations and computers without needing an internet connection. Early USB flash drives had limited storage capacities, typically measured in megabytes. However, advancements in technology have led to capacities now ranging from gigabytes to terabytes, making them highly versatile for various storage needs.

USBmuistid are widely popular due to their small size, portability, durability, and ease of use. They are plug-and-play devices, meaning they generally do not require special drivers to be installed on most modern operating systems. This simplicity, combined with their increasing storage capacity and decreasing cost, has made them a ubiquitous tool for personal and professional data management. They come in various designs, colors, and materials, catering to diverse user preferences.
