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.

4. 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.

5. Differences between USB drives
A USB hard drive is relatively heavy and about the size of one’s 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.
