Flash drive (4GB)

DESCRIPTION

A standard 4GB flash drive is a non-volatile data storage device that uses flash memory. It plugs directly into a computer’s USB port, offering a simple “plug-and-play” experience with no external power or drivers required for most modern operating systems. Its sleek and lightweight design makes it easy to attach to a keychain, carry in a pocket, or store in a bag. While it may not be suitable for large video collections or high-resolution photo archives, a 4GB drive is ideal for everyday tasks like transporting documents, presentations, and a personal music library.

What a 4GB Flash Drive Can Hold

The usable capacity is slightly less than 4GB due to formatting and the drive’s firmware, but it can still hold a significant amount of data for basic use:

Documents: Tens of thousands of Word, Excel, or PDF files.

Photos: Over 1,000 high-resolution photos (assuming an average file size of 2-3MB per photo).

Music: Approximately 900-1,000 MP3 audio files.

Video: Around 1-2 standard-definition movies or several hours of low-resolution video.
