∙ 15y agoUSB (Universal Serial Bus) is a physical transmission standard for computer devicec.
You could connect different peripheral device such, Printers, WLAN-Adapters, Mobile Phones.
If you connect a USB-Harddrive you could save data. If you connect a WLAN-USB-Stick you couldn't save data.
USB-Memory-Stick:
A memory is a device like a harddrive. Yes, a Memory-Stick is storage device. You could connect storage device through IDE or USB, for example.

∙ 7y agoFlash drives use a special form of electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) having several large "sector" write buffers, where one buffer can be in the process of being programmed into the ROM while one or more others are being written with data from the computer, allowing it to simulate the operation of a hard disk drive without the moving mechanical parts of a hard disk drive.
As with all forms of EEPROM each bit in a Flash drive is stored as electrical charge on a microscopic capacitor built into the microscopic bit selection MOSFET.

What type of storage device holds the LEAST amount of information?
The storage device that stores the least amount of information is a floppy disk which only has a average storage space of 1mb
Is a hard disk is a type of magnetic storage device?
A hard disk drive is a type of magnetic storage device. A magnetic storage device stores data on a magnetized medium. Other types of magnetic storage includes magnetic recording tapes and the stripes on credit cards.
What type of drives can be used to store data?
Portable drives (flash drive/jump drive) can also serve as storage devices.
Who provides a service for flash drive recovery?
Flash drive recovery services and professionals are available on the internet through companies such as the Flash Drive Pros and Nationwide Data Recovery. You can mail them the device and they can recover data from them, depending on the type and extent of damage.
Is a hard disk drive input or out put?
A hard disk drive (HDD) is neither an input nor an output device. It is a Storage Device. It helps to store the data in a Non-Volatile form (i.e Data stored in Hard Drive is not lost even after it's power source removed) and data can be retrieved at any time by enabling power for the Hard Drive.
Flash drives plug into what?
A flash drive has to be inserted in the USB port on the computer. Latest operating systems detect the flash drive and install the necessary drivers on their own. Once the device is detected, it can be used for storing the data. The device needs to be ejected from the computer. The system prompts you when it is safe to remove the flash drive. It can be physically ejected then. A flash drive consists of a PCB, a printed circuit board. It is covered in a plastic or rubber casing, making it sturdy. A USB connector that protrudes is covered with a removable cap. Most flash drives use type-A USB connection making it compatible with standard type-A receptacles. Hence they can be directly connected to a port on a computer. Flash drives implement the USB mass storage device class, thus do not require any additional device drivers. When a flash drive is plugged in to a computer, what is presented to it is a block-structured logical unit. This leads to an abstraction from the complex implementation details of the flash memory devices.
A portable storage device which can hold vast amount of data?
You can use a number of different things to store files. Here are some of the basics: * External Hard Drive (connects via USB/Firewire) * USB Flash Drive * Any type of multimedia card (SD, XD, Compact Flash) I'm sure there are others, but this list exceeds the two that you asked for, so I'll stop there.
Which is not a type of memory card SD MMC memory stick flash drive?
Flash drive
Flash memory is an example of which type of storage medium?
ROM
A hard disk is type of magnetic storage device?
A hard disk drive is a type of magnetic storage device. A magnetic storage device stores data on a magnetized medium. Other types of magnetic storage includes magnetic recording tapes and the stripes on credit cards.
Why does a USB mass storage device iPod not have a driver installed and is registered as a different type of USB device?
windows does not need to know the device name if it shows the device as a mass storage device.
Bad sectors will be there in pendrives?
As with any storage medium, there is always the potential for failure. Since flash drives are a type of solid state drive, the potential for failure is arguably less. However, no storage medium is immune to failure.
