How do USB Flash Drives store information?
In: Technology
Switches, like all computers it’s down to switches, on an empty flash chip all the switches are off (in binary that’s 0) when you write data to it some of the switches turn on others turn off so to store the letter A 8 switches will be assigned values 01100001 8 switch commands is called a byte. large data may be in the mega or giga byte range and take up a large amount of allocated switches.
A flash drive only has a set amount of switches so it can only allocate a fixed amount, when all the switches are allocated the drive is full.
