About USB Drives How to Burn ISO to DVD on
Windows with Disc Image Burner USB drives are
data storage devices that have flash memory and a
universal serial bus (USB) interface, which is a
standard interface that is used in most computers
and many other electronic devices. It is
important to know some of the differences between
flash drives and hard drives.

A USB hard drive is an external hard drive that
connects with computer via USB. It uses the same
design as an internal hard drive, except comes in
an external casing that protects the drive. The
case also includes a USB interface, which allows
you to connect the drive to your USB port using a
USB cable. Most USB hard drives require a USB 2.0
connection, since USB 1.1 does not have a fast
enough data transfer rate to be practical.
External DVD/Blu-ray recorders could be
considered as USB hard drive as well.
A USB flash drive, sometimes called a keychain
drive, pen drive, key drive, and memory key, also
connects to the USB port on your computer. Unlike
a USB hard drive, a flash drive is a "solid
state" device, meaning it has no moving parts.
The data is stored electronically, using millions
of small gates that have a value of 1 or 0. Hard
drives store data using spindles of disks that
spin thousands of times every minute.

Differences between USB drives A USB hard drive
is relatively heavy and about the size of ones
palm. USB hard drives are usually composed of a
roving head that reads data as well as several
spinning platters. A USB flash drive, on the
other hand, is very small, about the size of a
thumb, which is why they are also called thumb
drives. A thumb drive is a solid state storage
drive, which means that it has no moving parts
and, therefore, is less likely to fail. Because
flash drives are so small, they use almost no
power, which can help extend the lives of laptop
batteries.
