What’s the difference between a flash drive and a jump drive?
Absolutely nothing. You may have heard the very same device called a jump drive, flash drive, USB drive, thumb drive, pen drive or any number of additional synonyms. Rest easy – they’re all the same.
What size (how many gigabytes) jump drive should I get?
The answer depends on what you plan to use the drive for. If you just plan to back up and transfer documents, you can escape with purchasing a relatively small size drive – just a couple of gigabytes. If, on the other hand, you plan to store your pictures, music and video library on the device, we recommend you opt for a larger sized drive. For reference, a 1GB drive can on average hold about 500 medium size pictures, 250 songs, and just a few videos.
What is a jump drive?
If you’ve arrived at Jump Drive King, chances are you already know you can use a jump drive to easily store data – just like a floppy disk. In most cases weighing in at an ounce or less, jump drives are extremely small and portable devices that allow you to store, backup and transfer most any computer file from documents, to pictures, to music and video. If you are worried about losing your data and want a safe backup just in case, jump drives are a perfect solution. Jump drives are also perfect for anyone who often uses multiple different computers and wants their files with them everywhere they go.
How can jump drives be so small?
Jump drives use solid state technology, meaning they do not have the moving parts characteristic of their much larger PC hard drive counterparts. For all intensive purposes, a flash drive consists of only a small circuit board and a USB connector – all protected by its plastic or metal casing.
Are jump drives durable?
Made up of very few parts, and absolutely no mechanical moving parts, there’s simply very little that can go wrong or break on a jump drive. For this reason, jump drives are extremely durable and can withstand quite a lot while still retaining their data. Of course, nothing is indestructible, and the unexpected can happen – so make sure you have critical data stored in another location.
