A USB flash drive, known as a thumb drive, pen drive, gig stick, flash stick, jump drive, disk key,

disk on key (after the original M-Systems Disk On Key drive from 2000),

flash-drive, memory stick (not to confuse with the Sony Memory Stick), USB stick or USB memory,is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface.

It is typically removable, re writable and much smaller than an optical disc. Most weigh less than 30 g (1 ounce).

Since first appearing on the market in late 2000, as with virtually all other computer memory devices, storage capacities have risen.

As of March 2016, flash drives with anywhere from 8 to 256 GB are frequently there; less frequent are 512 GB and 1 TB units.

Storage capacities as large as 2 TB are planned, with steady improvements in size and price per capacity expected.

Some allow up to 100,000 write/erase cycles, depending on the exact type of memory chip used, and are thought to last between 10 and 100 years under normal circumstances
