A

drive is a flash device with a storage capacity similar to a small hard

drive. These drives are used as replacements for hard disk drives for storing

the operating system, applications, and data files.

Some advantages of these drives include:

They are faster than hard drives.

They have no moving parts.

They have lower power consumption than hard drives $($good for laptops$).$

They are less susceptible to physical damage $($from dropping$)$ and immune

from magnetic fields.

They are smaller and lighter than hard drives.
