Top Five Uses for USB Flash DrivesTop 5 Uses for USB Flash Drives
Use this USB flash drive guide below to learn how to leverage your thumbdrives. After all, they’re not just for storing files.
1. Lock and unlock your computer
By using Predator, a free downloadable program, you can turn your USB drive into a “key” that locks your computer when it’s removed and unlocks it when plugged into your computer. Accessing your computer without the USB drive (or secret password), will prove to be impossible. Anyone trying to do so will get the standard security message: “ACCESS DENIED”. This is a cheap and easy way to ensure your data is secure and retains its integrity. Who knew you could be the next 007 with your USB drive?
2. Detect viruses
Get AVG rescue software (another free download) and load it onto your USB drive, and within seconds you can scan an impaired computer for viruses. If all goes according to plan, bring your system back to life. USB drives: CPR for your computer.
3. Run portable apps, games, and utilities
What’s more portable than a laptop, tablet or smartphone? USB flash drives. Using a jump drive you can run applications like Safari, Chrome, OpenOffice, and more. And with the introduction of USB 3.0, data transfer speeds are 10 times faster than the old USB 2.0 standard that you’ve been using for the past 10 years. Faster transfer times means less time waiting and more time using. Less really is more.
4. Secure files
When using your thumbdrive for file storage, don’t forget to encrypt it. This ensures only you have access to the files on the drive, rendering it useless to anyone who finds (or steals) it.
5. Maintain your Windows computer
Install Parted Magic onto your flash drive and, voila, you can reset Windows passwords, clone your system, and partition your hard disk. No need to rely on IT for computer maintenance, just turn to your trusty USB flash drive.
