FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Also called a USB flash drive, thumb drive, memory unit, pen drive, these are small portable storage devices that memorise or receive data given by a computer (input). It makes a connection to the computer via a USB port and can transfer data to another computer device (output).

Detailed explanation-2: -A USB flash drive can store important files and data backups, carry favorite settings or applications, run diagnostics to troubleshoot computer problems or launch an OS from a bootable USB. The drives support Microsoft Windows, Linux, MacOS, different flavors of Linux and many BIOS boot ROMs.

Detailed explanation-3: -USB flash drive-Receives, or saves, data from a computer (input). Also, the drive sends data to a computer or another device (output).

Detailed explanation-4: -A USB flash drive (also called a thumb drive in the US, or a memory stick in the UK) is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. It is typically removable, rewritable and much smaller than an optical disc.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inside the flash chip, data is stored in cells protected by floating gates. Tunneling electrons change the gate’s electronic charge in “a flash” (hence the name), clearing the cell of its contents so it can be rewritten. Flash memory devices use two different logical technologies–NOR and NAND–to map data.
