"Not really. A USB drive is more like a CD or floppy disk, but is made to look like another drive on your computer when it's plugged in, because information can be added and removed from it at will"

"A USB drive is similar to your hard drive in that you can freely move information on and off of it, but in reality, it's much closer to a floppy disk."

How do you reduce the time it takes to move a file from a hard disk to a pen drive?

If the pen drive is a standard USB drive then think about upgrading to a USB 2.0 drive, your computer must have a USB 2.0 port as well. USB 2.0 will transfer data much quicker than standard USB. Another option is to use a file compressing software to make the file smaller that you are transferring to the Pen drive. Smaller file, less to move. www.winzip.com

No it will have no effect on the life of the mechanical hard drive, the only difference is that the full speed of the USB 3.0 device data transfers (5 Gbps) will not be available, data transfers to and from the hard drive will happen at the slower USB 2.0 speed (about 0.5 Gbps).
