Even though they are called drives, flash drives differ from hard drives in that they do not have any moving parts inside. Instead, they have a special kind of memory called flash memory that keeps the contents of what is stored on it even when it is not powered. Flash drives come with varying amounts of memory, with some having as much as 1GB or more. Flash drives are also commonly referred to as key drives, thumb drives, jump drives, or just USB drives.
