How to prolong the service life of USB flash disk

USB flash disk has become an indispensable tool in life, while the compact body can store all kinds of data, which can be used to store songs, movies, and so on. The USB flash disk is small and portable. The most important thing is that it can be used to store important data in work and meet our office needs anytime and anywhere.

In the process of using the USB flash disk, there are also many things to pay attention to, otherwise the USB flash disk may have problems after a long time. The life of USB flash disk mainly depends on the life of memory chip. Through daily use experience, the memory chip can be rewritten at least 1 million times.

With the popularity of u-disk, its service life has also been concerned.

Today, I will tell you some tips to prolong the service life of the USB flash disk.

1. When inserting the USB flash disk into the computer for use, you can press and hold the shift key to open the USB flash disk, which can prevent viruses from running when you open it.

2. The USB disk can only be unplugged from the USB socket when it is safely deleted. You need to delete the hardware at the bottom right of the computer screen, and wait for the prompt after the safe deletion or when the USB disk indicator is not lit. If you pull out the U disk directly after using it, the service life of the U disk will be affected.

3. When the USB disk is not used, the USB disk should be unplugged from the USB socket of the computer in a timely manner. Long time operation of the USB disk inserted into the USB socket will not only cause the USB disk to heat up, but also affect the performance of the USB disk. This will not only affect the service life of the USB disk, but also provide many opportunities for viruses.

4. Do not directly download files from the network to the USB flash disk. Many friends directly download files to the USB flash disk for convenience, which sometimes directly downloads viruses to the USB flash disk, causing USB flash disk poisoning and affecting the service life of the USB flash disk.

5. Unplug the USB stick at will

As we all know, USB flash disk is a device that supports hot plug. However, we should pay attention to the following aspects:

(1) When the USB flash disk is reading or saving data (the indicator of the USB flash disk keeps flashing), do not unplug the USB flash disk at this time. If you unplug the USB flash disk at this time, it is easy to damage the USB flash disk or the data in the USB flash disk;

(2) Do not plug and unplug the USB flash disk frequently when using it at ordinary times, otherwise the USB interface may become loose;

(3) Do not use too much force when inserting the USB stick. If it cannot be inserted, do not insert it hard. Adjust the angle and position appropriately.

6. USB stick plug and play

Many users of USB flash drives often leave USB flash drives on the computer host for the convenience of copying files at any time after inserting them into the USB interface of the computer. Did you know that? This has brought great security risks to your personal data.

Hidden danger 1: If you use Windows 2000 or Windows xp operating system and turn on the hibernation memory function, it is easy to modify the data in the USB flash drive when the system returns to the normal state when it enters the hibernation standby mode. Once it happens, you will regret the loss of important data.

Hidden danger 2: For friends who often surf the Internet, the resources on the Internet are too rich now. In addition to useful resources, there are many Trojan viruses that "harass" everywhere. They may invade your USB flash drive one day, causing irrecoverable damage to the data therein. Therefore, in order to ensure that the USB flash disk data will not be lost, it is better to copy the data before unplugging it, or turn off its write switch.

7. Save or delete files at one time

When you operate the USB flash disk, whether you save files or delete files, the USB flash disk will refresh the data in the flash memory once. That is to say, every time a file is added or decreased in the USB flash disk, the USB flash disk will be refreshed automatically. When copying multiple files, the files are copied one by one. At this time, the USB flash disk will be refreshed continuously, which directly leads to the loss of the physical media of the USB flash disk. Therefore, when saving files on a USB flash disk, it is better to use WinRAR and other compression tools to compress multiple files, package them into one file, and then save them to the USB flash disk; In the same way, when you want to delete the information in the USB flash disk (unless it is formatted), it is better to do it once to minimize the number of times the USB flash disk is refreshed, rather than repeatedly. Only by reducing the loss of the USB flash disk, can the actual service life of the USB flash disk be effectively improved.
