I vividly remember buying my first USB flash drive. It's a 256mb drive, which was huge at the time. It wasn't that USB flash drives were in any fashion new on the market; it was just the 1st time I got my hands on one. Floppy disks were becoming outdated, typically for 2 reasons. First of all, the amount of storage on a floppy disk was seriously limited. Secondly, they broke...a lot!
The fact is there'll always be a requirement for removable and recyclable storage. The space constraints on floppy disks limited their utility. At their top, you would get games and software systems on multiple floppy disks. I can recollect getting a game on 8 disks, which made installation a real agony.
Rewritable CDs and DVDs can fill the space necessities, but they have their own restrictions. They scratch and break simply, and they do not fit too well in your pocket. The USB flash drive, while at first not having the capacity of DVDs and CDs, have none of the restrictions of its rivals. It fits well in your pocket, it rarely breaks and as of September 2011, it is possible to get it with as much as 256gb storage. That's a large amount of storage!
Does that suggest the flash drives will reign ultimate forever? No! Nothing in IT lasts for ever and ever and the advent of cloud computing may ultimately render removable storage outmoded. Do I see this taking place in the instant future? Not particularly. There are many reasons which explain why removable storage is still something we need. Although smart telephones mean we are nearly always online, accessing cloud storage isn't necessarily a convenient option. Issues like security and trust also suggest that cloud computing isn't as wide-reaching today as it will finally be.
The USB flash drive is reigning ultimate over all different kinds of removable storage at the moment. Whether or not that will be the case in even five years is doubtful, nevertheless it is definitely good to be able to carry 256gb around in your pocket.
