History of National Flash Drive Day

Back in the 80's, Dr. Fujio Masuoka, Japanese engineer invented flash drive. The 'flash' part of the technology is so named because the memory technology's quick erase action is similar to that of a camera flash. As the years progressed, and technology advanced, floppy disks and drives became just some of the ways in which this technology was being used.

The world has Dov Moran, Oron Ogdan and Amir Ban to thank for the invention of the flash drive. Israeli scientists of M-Systems have created a more compact and rectangular chip that can store and transfer data easier than normal. Firstly, flash drives are only sold in Singapore.
