COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -One reason flash storage has a reputation for being expensive is that flash drives have relatively low capacity, so the cost per gigabyte is high. But using HDDs for high-performance workloads can actually cost more because you need more of them and could end up with wasted capacity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Disadvantages of flash memory storage For sure, there aren’t many disadvantages, but one significant issue is its cost. On a capacity basis, flash storage costs five to eight times the price of a comparable-capacity HDD.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes. All USB flash drives will eventually go bad since their internal memory chips can only be used a finite number of times. The other important part of the device is likely to fail long before the memory fails due to overuse since all other components on the USB flash drive are prone to failure.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s quick, easy and reliable – and incredibly cheap to boot. Nor is this the only reason to keep a flash drive within arm’s reach. You wouldn’t want to use one for full PC backups, but they’re ideal for keeping a safe copy of important documents or photos, and you can stash them in a locked drawer or safe.
