Flash Drive
A keydrive is a small removable data storage device that uses flash memory and a USB connector. Keydrives are also known as keychain drive, pen drive, pocket drive, thumb drive, jump drive, USB flash drive, USB flash memory drive, USB key, USB memory key, USB stick, Piripicho (primarily in Spanish), and Kikinou (primarily in French)
Keydrives are typically small, lightweight devices, around 50 mm long and weighing only around 100 grammes. A keydrive consists of a small printed circuit board encased with a robust plastic casing, making the drive sturdy enough to be carried around in a pocket, as a keyfob, or on a lanyard around the owner's neck. Only the USB connector protrudes from this plastic protection, and this is often covered by a removable plastic cap. Keydrives are active only when powered by a connection to a computer, and require no external power source or battery power when not in use. To access the data stored in a keydrive, it must be connected to a computer, either by direct connection to its USB port or via a USB hub. Most keydrives feature the larger type-A USB connection, although some feature the smaller "miniUSB" connection. There is no separate power connection; keydrives are run from the limited supply afforded by the USB connection.
