A thumb drive — also known as USB drive, jump drive, flash drive, keychain drive, or disk-on-key — is a plug-and-play portable storage device that allows you to transfer files of any type between computers and is lightweight enough to attach to a key chain. A thumb drive can be used in place of a floppy disk, Zip disk, or CD.
