We have a lot of external data storage media which has a variety of shapes and sizes of data such as memory chips, an external hard drive and flash of course. But for practical reasons, it seems that the flash is still the choice for most people although it's more popping up an external hard drive range of brand and clearly has the data storage space much larger than the flash. This is due to its small so easy to carry and storage, as can be inserted in a pocket for example.

Of course, besides having the advantages as mentioned earlier, the flash disk it could be vulnerable to damage if the user is less understanding of the nature of the flash and customs in use plus other things that can affect the age of the flash.

That's what this article is presented to help you how to take care and keep Flashdiskawet in terms of equipment can work well and durable:

1. Avoid contact with water.

Keep the flash is not to get exposed to water, rain or even submerged in water. Things like the above can result in damage to components inside that may result can not terbacanya data means data loss forever. Indeed there are several brands that dare to claim that anti-product water (waterproof), but the safest step is to keep the flash from the affected water.

2. Keep it away from the influence of strong magnetic fields

Try to put the flash on when not in use in a safe place from the influence of strong magnetic fields, such as TV, mobile and large-sized speakers. Many of us on the grounds within easy reach and easy to remember often put small items like keys, including flash on TV. Well, this is wrong. Flash should not be placed there, because the TV has the effect of very strong magnetic field. So also put the flash into one with HP do not do, like save the flash and HP in the same pocket.

Get used to always pull the flash from the plug (USB Port) after completion used to eject the correct process. Do it always with doing a stop on the "Safely Remove Hardware" from the computer and unplug after notice "Safe To Remove Hardware" appears on the screen. This is done so as not to affect the data files stored on it. Flash is not ready to be revoked is usually because there is still a running process (data transfer) or else the process of the virus at work.


4. Always make sure the virus scan with an updated antivirus.

Transfer data from computer to the flash is very vulnerable to the migration of the virus if the home computer has been infected by the virus. Moreover, when you save data from the cafe after a download or just copy the data. It is no secret that the cafe has been a "nest" or "media" (more accurately perhaps?) for the virus to move and launch his evil actions utilizing flash and make the distribution to a personal computer. To make sure the flash is fully scanned once used to move data with antivirus that is always updated.

5. Keep away from heat

Flash also has no heat resistant properties as well as other electronic goods. Do not put flash in the hot areas, such as above the dashboard of a car that was left under the hot sun because the heat generated or the car itself. Also keep it away for the flash does not hit something hard or frequent falls.

6. Always put the cap back

When finished use put the cap back on properly. This was done to avoid the entry of undesirable impurities such as dust or foreign objects that could result in failing the familiar flash when inserted in USB Port. It also can lead to failure of the read / write data in flash.

7. Minimize erase-write process

Usually the flash has the power to survive (read: age) up to 100,000 times the process of writing clear. Various kinds of brand flash on the market have different qualities and prices that also affect the useful life of the flash is concerned. However, it is not absolute. It would be nice if we get used to minimize the process erase-write flash for flash is more durable age. Get used to work carefully and correctly so we do not repeat to save on the flash that means repeating the process of writing on the flash. Minimize edit data directly on the flash. Should do well on computer editing, after all correct and no correction then move into the flash.
Also not recommended to run the program directly stored in the flash, although the mini-games or portable applications, because it will reduce the age of the flash itself. Move the first program into a computer.
