What is a USB flash drive? 

A USB flash drive (which stands for Universal Serial Bus) is a small, light and easily transportable device that allows you to store data. By plugging it into your computer's USB port, you can either copy data from your Ordissimo onto the USB drive or from the USB drive onto your Ordissimo. 

Many sizes of USB drives are available for sale, generally marked in Gb (Gigabytes). You should choose a size depending on your personal needs. To give you an idea of how much storage space you require, on an 8 Gb USB drive you can put up to 5 or 6 high quality films at a time, save more than 1,000 photos or download more than 24,000, 800 page electronic books!
