Definition: A flash drive is a small, ultra-portable storage device which, unlike a hard drive or optical drive, has no moving parts. Most connect to the PC via a built-in USB port. Storage capacity ranges from as small as 16MB to as much as 64GB and more.
Flash drives can be written and rewritten to an almost unlimited number of times, much like a standard hard drive.
Also Known As: pen drive, USB drive, solid state drive
Examples:
"Tom said he hasn't used his floppy drive once since he purchased his 2GB flash drive."
