A USB flash drive is a compact USB flash memory drive that is a portable hard drive, allowing for the storage and transport of computer data and video clips, including text, graphics and multimedia files. Small in physical size, and approximately the shape of a pack of chewing gum, the USB flash drives are large in capacity, holding up to two gigabytes of data files. USB flash drives provide the ultimate portability for digital files. The proliferation of USB ports among a wide variety of computing devices, combined with declining market prices for flash memory, and a greater consumer awareness of USB flash drives, is creating a market for the devices that is growing exponentially.
“We're excited that GlobalWare Solutions has joined the USB Flash Drive Alliance,” said Steffen Hellmold, president of the UFDA. “GlobalWare's content delivery solutions provide new possibilities to deliver content on a USB Flash Drive in a secure and controlled fashion. It allows content owners to manage the distribution of rights to their content provided on a USB Flash Drive to support one of the many usage models for USB Flash Drives that the alliance envisions. ”
