A newbie often needs to be more careful, which can cause damage to the device. It is very common for a newbie to often damage the USB flash disk. What problems should be paid attention to when using the USB flash disk.
With its low price, large storage space, and relatively fast access speed, USB flash drives have become one of the preferred components for assembling computers. Although it is claimed to have more than 100,000 writes, if you do not pay attention to it in daily use, it is easy to see the phenomenon of "early morning. Based on the daily experience and lessons learned, the author sums up the following possible factors that may easily lead to the "Reduction of Life" of the USB flash drive, and discusses them with friends.

　　Organizing fragments has more disadvantages than advantages

For many
Our friends who are good at machine protection and maintenance must have developed a good habit of organizing hard disk fragments frequently. After frequent operations on the hard disk, deleting and saving a large number of files, or using the system for a long time, you should promptly fragment the hard disk. After using the USB flash drive, many friends also want to use the disk fragment tool to sort the fragments in the USB flash drive. The idea is good, but you know, it is counterproductive. Because the USB flash disk stores data in a different way than the hard disk principle, the file fragments generated by it are not suitable for regular sorting. If it is forcibly sorted, its service life will be affected. If you think that files in your USB flash drive are frequently increased or decreased or used for a long time, you can consider temporarily copying useful files to the hard disk and fully formatting the USB flash drive.
To clear fragments. Of course, you cannot frequently clean up the USB flash disk by formatting it. This will also affect the service life of the USB flash disk.
　　Save and delete files at a time
When you operate a USB flash disk, the USB flash disk refresh the data in flash memory once, whether it is stored in or deleted. That is to say, adding or removing a file to a USB flash drive will automatically refresh the USB flash drive. When multiple files are merged, the order in which the files are merged is one by one. At this time, the USB flash disk is constantly refreshed, which directly leads to the loss of the physical media of the USB flash disk. Therefore, when using a USB flash drive to save files, it is best to use WinRAR
Compress multiple files, package them into one file, and save them to the USB flash drive. Similarly, when you want to delete the information in the USB flash drive (unless it is formatted ), it is best to refresh the USB flash disk at a time, instead of refresh it repeatedly. Only by reducing the loss of the U disk can the actual service life of the U disk be effectively improved.

　　You don't need a USB flash drive. Remember to be "laid off"
Many friends who have a USB flash drive often Insert the USB flash drive into the USB interface and do not unplug it for convenience of copying at any time. As you know, this method poses a great security risk to your personal data. First, if you are using a Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system and enabled the sleep memory function, the system will return to the normal state when it enters the sleep STANDBY state, it is easy to modify the data in the USB flash drive. Once this happens, the loss of important data will make you cry. Second, for friends who often access the Internet, the resources on the Internet are too "rich". In addition to useful resources, there are also many Trojans and viruses "harassing" everywhere ", maybe one day, you may slide into your USB flash drive, causing irreparable damage to the data. Therefore, in order to ensure that the data on the USB flash drive is not lost, it is best to pull it out after the data is copied, or to turn off its write switch.

　　Hot swapping = random plugging
As we all know, USB flash drives are a device that supports hot swapping. But pay attention to the following aspects: When the USB flash drive is reading or storing data (the USB flash drive indicator is flashing constantly), do not unplug the USB flash drive, it is easy to damage the USB flash disk or the data in it. In addition, do not perform frequent plugging at ordinary times; otherwise, the USB interface may be relaxed. 3. Do not use brute force when inserting the USB flash disk, when you cannot insert it, do not insert it hard. You can adjust the angle and orientation.
