USB flash drives are small, portable data storage devices, that can be plugged into a computer’s USB port and used as as a portable hard drive. Their storage capacity  vary from a few Megabytes, to a few Gigabytes. USB flash drives are also called as thumb drives, jump drives, pen drives, key drives, tokens, or simply USB drives. USB flash drives have become a great way to store and transport large amounts of data, since it is more easy to carry, and less complex to use.

Flash drives make use of the FAT file system, for organization of files. The reason why USB flash drives are universally compatible, is because, almost all the operating systems in use today, are compatible with the FAT file system.

As USB flash drives do not contain any internal moving parts, they might be more durable than an external hard drive, but that does not mean that they are fully dependable. They too undergo logical data loss like hard drives, and the reason for data loss might be different in each case. Logical data loss might occur due to,

• Virus infected  Flash drives.
• Error messages like “Drive not found” or “Drive not formatted” displayed on  the monitor.
• Unplugging the Flash drive in an improper manner from the USB port in your PC.
• Accidental deletion of files (human error).
• Corruption of the file system, that manages the data on the flash drive.
