One interesting fact about thumb drives is that they have evolved significantly since they were first introduced. The first thumb drives were created in the late 1990s and were much larger and less reliable than the ones we use today. They were also much slower, with data transfer speeds of only a few megabytes per second. In comparison, modern thumb drives can transfer data at speeds of hundreds of megabytes per second and are small enough to fit on a keychain. This has made them an essential tool for many people, and they are now commonly used to store and transfer data for personal and professional use.
- aidenn0 4y ago> with data transfer speeds of only a few megabytes per second That sounds high to me; some of my more recent USB drives get single-digit MB/s. USB 1.1 had a theoretical limit of 1.2MB/s and I doubt many (any?) early thumb drives achieved that.
