(ARA) - Frustrated with floppy disks that always seem to run out of space? Fed up with scratched, unreadable CDs that can cause you to lose valuable information? Carrying a floppy disk to your next business presentation today is like surfing the Internet with a 56K dial-up modem. As technology continues to advance, it is important for business professionals to understand and take advantage of the technology’s improved benefits. It’s about time you consider purchasing a USB 2.0 flash drive --the latest must-have accessory for today’s busy lifestyle.
The Professional’s Guide to Info Mobility, Portability and Storage

A USB 2.0 flash drive is a portable memory storage device that allows you to transport large amounts of data quickly and easily from one computer to another. Because most computer systems today come equipped with USB ports, USB flash drives connect to almost any desktop, notebook or mobile PC/MAC. Plus, there is no need for bulky cables or adapters. The device’s plug-and-play functionality enables information to be easily accessed anytime, anywhere. The drive simply plugs into an available USB port, and the computer automatically recognizes it -- enabling the user to retrieve saved files.

About the size of a stick of gum, slip it into your pocket, wear it on your keychain or place it in your briefcase for the ultimate mobility. Holding up to five gigabytes of data, the portable storage solution stores the same information as a hard drive. According to PNY Technologies, the current “sweet spot” for most consumers is a 256MB capacity or larger. A 256MB USB flash drive can hold up to 178 floppy disks, 197 images or 73 songs. The process of uploading files from your computer to a USB flash drive is usually much faster and simpler than burning a CD or DVD.

For the business professional, a USB flash drive provides a convenient way to share, store and transport information. Drives with shock and water resistant features give professionals the freedom to work practically wherever they want -- with the confidence that their data will be securely stored. Carry a presentation to your client's office; work on documents at home and bring them with you to work; or store images, photos or art files to take to your professional printer. Some models offer data encryption technology to safeguard private information, such as financial or medical records.

Companies like PNY Technologies enable you to custom imprint a USB flash drive with a company logo or motivational message. A customized drive can be given away as a memorable, “functional” premium item. Company information, such as a sales brochure, could be loaded onto the drive prior to presenting it to clients. Multi-function USB flash drives, such as the Executive Attaché USB 2.0 Flash Drive and ballpoint pen are designed with the business professional in mind. The drive is a compact, removable storage device and writing instrument in one. Users can plug the USB drive into the PC at the client’s office, and write the order with the ballpoint pen. Its functionality, longevity and high brand exposure make it the ideal business gift.

The USB flash drive market continues to evolve in response to the unique performance needs of users working in specialized industries and challenging environments. Its growing popularity can be seen in the boardroom, in the dorm room and on the runway. The strength of this functional, portable device is in its convenience and affordability. For under $100, it can be erased and reused repeatedly. Ideal for work or play, USB flash drives are designed to fit every lifestyle.
