A flashdrive is a small device that plugs into a USB port. It's not much bigger than a key ring. However, it can contain a large amount of magnetic storage, so it is possible to store files and folders on it. Also programs, pictures -- in fact anything you can store on a disk. As far as the computer is concerned, it looks just like another disk, so you can copy files to and from it in the usual ways. But because it is small and portable, it's a good way of backing up your information, and perhaps moving them to another computer. If you are thinking of buying one, check that it works on the software level (of Windows) on your machine. Hope that helps. Jim |

Flashdrives are storage devices (like floppy disks) that you can backup (copy) your files onto in case of PC crashes. They come in different sizes so they bigger the Giga Byte (GB) the more storage they have. Have a look on Amazon for some examples. Hope this helps. Anna x |
