U disk is not something precious small things, but the file inside is priceless, so in peacetime when the use of the time to extend its life as far as possible. Therefore, the following three points should be noted.
One should pay attention to the steps to plug: U disk can be hot-swappable, but for users using WIN2000 and XP, if not through the desktop taskbar to the right of the small icon to stop the flash drive, directly remove the flash, Windows will issue the wrong operation prompts. You may think that Windows hints is superfluous, because even if you do so many times, and did not find anything wrong. In fact, through the taskbar small icon to turn off removable disk operation, the actual is to stop the motherboard on the Flash disk power supply, and then safely remove the operation of the flash drive. If the direct removal, although the motherboard will not cause any harm, but the Flash disk control chip life will have a certain impact. Because the flash control chip and the circuit is one, its life is also limited, only reasonable use of the way to ensure that the memory service life, and the standard operation of the steps can also be avoided in the data is read and write when the removal.
Second, pay attention to the correct use of read and write switches: and floppy similar, U disk generally have read and write switch, switch this switch can control U disk read-only and read-write. Many users in the use of this switch, directly in the use of switching, this is not true. This will not only make the settings effective, but also may damage the U disk. The correct way is, first unplug the U disk, then the state of the switch, and then insert a U disk, so as to normal use. Also, some u disk on the other switch, but also to follow the steps above to operate.
Three should pay attention to reasonable preservation, clean: The flash disk itself is much stronger than the floppy disk, but does not mean that we can have no regard to it, especially for a long time without the situation, pay attention to moistureproof or necessary. Flash disk storage should be noted that the USB interface oxidation rust and moisture on the internal circuit corrosion aging. Usually pay attention to put in dry place and pay attention to wear a good hat on it, do not need to do special protective treatment.
