USB Flash Drives - Marissa Cohen (KEY POST)

USB FLASH DRIVES






The USB Flash Drive, invented in the late 1990's by Dov Moran, who specifically invented the USB Memory Stick, has been in use for more than two decades. Moran invented the drive when he was with his company, M-Systems, which he sold to SanDisk in 2006 for 1.6 billion.

The USB flash drive is defined as "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. Most weigh less than 30 g."

The storage limit of a USB is between 10,000 to 100,000.

Dov Moran has many years of experience, obtaining his education from The Israel Institute of Technology.

Moran invented the USB because he wanted to be able to transfer data from his computer to another device.

He invented the USB after losing computer files.



The turning point of Moran inventing the USB was when he was at a conference and he needed to present material. An audience member offered up their computer, but there was no technology that made the maneuver possible.

USB Flash Drive is used to store information on a computer or other device for easy access and transportation.

USB Flash Drives and USB Memory Sticks are little in size and big in memory - something Moran aimed for when thinking about his invention.

The USB's design allows it to be easily breakable, but the device is designed with good quality and lasts long.

There has been an increase in the differences in shapes, sizes, and designs of the USB in recent years.





Some disadvantages of the USB is the amount of data able to be stored, it's easily breakable, people can misplace it, the quality might not be the best, it's stagnant on its own, and it can damage the device it's being used for or it can damage itself.

Some advantages to this device is that it's easy to run on its own, and chargers aren't needed for using them. They are easy to transport and all it needs is a suitable outlet to be plugged into. By using the USB, data is easy transferable and the device is easy to carry around. It can be used for things like business conferences, computers, jobs, and all around daily life.

The impact of the USB in today's world is paramount. It has become essential in the business world and has even been helping people in various fields. In corporate America, USB's are most likely to be found. The devices strong advantages allow for it to be easily used and be useful just the same.

USB's can also be purchased when someone needs it and it's easily forgotten. It is a great device to carry around and having one means an individual is prepared for anything - whether in be in corporate America or in daily life.


The USB can hold a mass amount of data, and with that my files can be stored to one device.

The USB’s design has greatly improved since its invention and will continue to do so as technology advances.
