Flash Drives A common property of mass storage systems based on magnetic or optic technology is that physical motion‚ such as spinning disks‚ moving read/write heads‚ and aiming laser beams‚ is required to store and retrieve data. This means that data storage and retrieval is slow compared to the speed of electronic circuitry. Flash memory technology has the potential of alleviating this drawback. In a flash memory system‚ bits are stored by sending electronic signals directly to the storage medium
