Experience in PC repair and I.T. support after using a range of these devices to do my job and to help my customers. With over twenty years experience in I.T. I’ve used Pendrives since they were first available and had a capacity of only 64MB and cost over $100!
Pendrive is a nickname for an USB Flash Drive, also called a “Memory Stick” and “Thumb Drive”. At first it may seem confusing to have four different names for the same thing but, in practice, most people know what you mean whichever name you use.
Yes, you can buy an USB Flash Drive, or Pendrive if you prefer, for just a few dollars online and they may be OK for you but for really useful storage capacity and reliability it’s best to stick to a known make.
