From mere novelties, thumb-size USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash drives have grown into a billion-dollar market. More than 54 million of them were sold worldwide last year (Gartner Dataquest) and sales are expected to top 100 million next year.
The flash drive - also known as a keychain drive, pen drive or memory key - is basically a flash memory card (the type used with digital cameras) that connects to any computer with a universal serial bus port. What sets flash drives apart from conventional hard drives is their lack of moving parts, which makes them durable and silent. Besides it consumes little power, which is especially important for mobile gadgets like cellphones and organizers. Hence this device can be found running in the background on devices ranging from video game consoles and set-top television boxes to digital cameras and inkjet printers.
In the near future, flash drives may become the preferred way of delivering new software. A drive could come preloaded with a photo-editing software suite and ample space to store photos. Likewise, a banking-oriented drive could contain all your monthly statements, bills and passwords.
