How Flash Drives Work

It's easy to use a USB flash drive to transfer data. Plug your flash drive/thumb drive into your computer's USB port, and drag files into the folder that appears on your screen. Your files are instantly transferred to your USB flash drive/thumb drive. To transfer the items on your USB flash drive to another computer, plug your USB flash drive into the computer, open the folder that appears on your screen, and drag the desired files onto the computer's desktop.
Since USB flash drives use the universal USB protocol, they can work with any PC or Mac with a USB port. They work with Windows, Mac OS, even Linux.
USB flash drives are available with up to 2 GB capacity, which translates into 250 MP3 songs or hundreds of photos and thousands of words of text.
