Beside CDs there are SD-cards, external harddisk drvies and USB-sticks, too. The last one is used principally. But why? Which advantages do USB Flash Drives have? And whats about the disadvantages? There are a lot of different causes, why the USB Memory Stick become such famous. The size is certainly one of the best reasons. USB Flash Drives have continuously become smaller and smaller. Nowadays there are USB Memory Sticks with up to 32GB store. Another point is, that nearly every working station has got his own USB slot. On top of that theres the price. An USB Stick still costs between 50 and 60 , but you can also get a USB Stick Western with 8 GB for as little as 18 . Furthermore USB-sticks are skilfully combined with other twists and gizmos today. A few examples for that are the cameras, bottles, keychains or sunglasses with integrated USB Sticks.

Theres also the possibility of printing the USB Stick with advertising or save the congruent promotion material on it. Ist even possible to now allow the deleting of your information. Just a little part of the store is occupied with advertising, of course, in order to use the stick for its actual purpose. But so everyone plugging the stick can read the promotion material.
