The flash USB memory device, more commonly known as a memory stick or thumb drive, has become something of a phenomenon. Starting life as a simple means of storing data it has now turned into an indispensable desktop tool and accessory. Far more robust than a CD or floppy disc it is no wonder that the USB key has become so popular.

Besides just being a portable USB data store much more can be done the variations are almost endless. They can include MP3 players, fingerprint readers for enhanced security, available in a range of capacities: from 32Mb to in excess of 2Gb. Can be attached to a key ring clipped to you belt, colour coded to match you kit. As for the cost of these devices they are getting cheaper by the day.

There is no particular or formal flash USB software as such. It is basically a removable hardware memory device just like the good old floppy disc of yesteryear.

Many popular software packages that have been modified or specifically created to run directly from a USB device. These pages contain a selection of software that you are likely to find extremely useful, and much of it is free.

Remember that open source software can be just as proficient in performing the tasks you require. So dont just discount it as being free.
