USB flash drives are small memory drives that plug into your computer’s USB port. A USB flash drive is similar in nature to the hard drive in your computer, except that it’s designed to be easily portable. Before a hard drive can be used on your computer as storage, it needs to be formatted. In the same vein, USB flash drives must also be programmed, or formatted, to be recognized by your computer. Please understand that formatting is a volatile action that will erase all data on your USB flash drive, and may not be reversible. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
