What is the importance of secondary storage?
Secondary storage can be used to restore a backup of your files if you have to format. You can use it if you run out of room on your main hard drive. If it is external secondary storage you can also bring it with you if you need to access files at work or somewhere else. Commonly used types of secondary storage are the USB drive and Floppy Disk, as referred to in the joke 'Can you turn my floppy disk into a hard drive?' which is impossible!

What is the difference between a flash drive and a flash drive with u3 smart technology capabilities?
Let's say that you have to use another computer for the day because your personal PC is broken. You immediately pat yourself on the back for remembering to put your files on your USB Drive, until you sit down to work with them... The borrowed PC has none of the software to run your files, which is just as bad as leaving your files at home. With a U3 Smart Drive, you can hold the software necessary to run the files, as well as other files like Accomplice, which manages your to-do lists, Weatherbug for telling you accurate weather all the time, etc etc... The U3 Smart Drive can also hold games, such as Sudoku, and can allow you to put a password on your U3 Drive, giving it the ultimate protection from data theft. Overall, the U3 Smart Drive is the smart way to go.
