A flash drive is a small, portable, solid-state storage device that uses flash memory to store and transport data via a USB port. It is used for easily moving files between computers, backing up data, or running software and operating systems. Unlike traditional hard drives, it has no moving parts, making it durable and resistant to shocks, and it retains data even when unplugged.
