Underneath the Plastic: The Flash Drive
How many gigabytes can your flash drive store?
Most people today use 1, 2 and 4GB flash drives.
1,2 and 4GB flash drives are popular because those sizes are all a realistic balance of price to the amount of space you will really need. For example, I have a 16GB flash drive, but since I bought it (4 months ago) I never exceeded even 4GB of the 16GB. [GB: Gigabyte]

The average flash drive is about 2 times the size of the average human thumb and can hold 64 GB. That's an extremely high amount relative to the size of the device, so I wanted to see how compact, complex, and small the parts on the inside would be.
