what is restriction of thumb drive?


what is restriction of thumb drive?

Size of thumb
Depends on the thumb drive. They put on the market all different sizes, from 16mb to 4 see.

Put it in your computer, dance to my computer, and right click on it "properties" to see how big it is.
Presently the largest capacity on a thumb drive is 16GB for around $200.00

U3 is sometimes installed on flash drives, it is not uninstallable and has issues.
the most important limitations of a thumb drive or pen drive as they are called is that they require a USB port to connect to and you will entail software drivers for pre winxp operating systems, you can get 12gb+ version but they are still quite expensive
Thumbdrives formatted for NTFS are orphans, and will clearly lose files so only use for verbs like from home to arts school, or home to work.



Subject to the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions", they can transfer greatly evil crapware to computers.



I prefer to run http://pclinuxos.com on all my PCs (upto 50X faster than any MS OS!), and it is straightforward.



I can format my thumb drives as EXT3 file systems. Totally immune to adjectives the virus, trojans, plus, safe for files, and won't crash. But, won't appear contained by Microsoft, as it cannot read the safe filesystems similar to UDF, EXT2/3, ReiserFS. This last could be installed surrounded by MS, but, are you a geek?



So there are folder system limitations that come from the factory, that you can change. I do NOT ever use or provide LEXAR crap!



Prefer Verbatim, Sandisk.
