Generic Flash Drives Have the Same Capabilities?

When you get a compact flash drive, you can probably get a generic one and have the same results as if you bought a more expensive drive.

Is an external disk drive the same as a flash drive?

No, an external disk drive and a flash drive are not the same. An external disk drive typically refers to a device that uses spinning disks, like a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid-state drive (SSD), and connects to a computer via USB or other ports.

How do the hard drive and ram work together?

It is not possible to have your hard drive and RAM to work together. This is because they are different types of memory. Flash memory (the kind in hard drives) are made to retain memory for a long time, even after the device has been powered down. RAM is designed to encode memory quickly, and delete it just as fast. Some amount of the total flash memory is lost when information is deleted. If flash worked in the same conditions as RAM the total memory would quickly start to disappear (along with other unspeakably awful things). And you would never be able to load a file after you turned your computer off if RAM worked in the same conditions as Flash. In Windows 7, you can use what is called ReadyBoost. You designate a specific amount of space in a flash drive or SD card and it functions as pseudo RAM memory. It won't make a huge difference, but it'll hold slower changing RAM values while the actual RAM card deals with faster changing information.


Is a pen drive the same as a jump drive?

Yes. USB Flash Drives have a number of different names. "Pen drive", "jump drive", "Memory Key", and even erroneous names like "Memory Stick" (which is actually Sony proprietary memory device) are sometimes used.

For example, "ThumbDrive" is sometimes used; this is what Trek Technology who were first commercial production of USB Flash Drives called their product.
