A USB flash drive is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. It is typically removable, rewritable, and much smaller than an optical disc. USB flash drives are often used for storage, data back-up, and transfer of computer files. Compared with floppy disks or CDs, they are smaller, faster, have significantly more capacity, and are more durable due to a lack of moving parts. Most desktop and a laptop computer were supplied with floppy disk drives in addition to USB ports, but floppy disk drives became obsolete after the widespread adoption of USB ports and the larger USB drive capacity. Most USB flash drives support modern operating systems such as Windows, Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems, as well as many BIOS boot ROMs.
