Without flash-based storage devices, better known as flash drives, it would be quite difficult to do with the current level of development of computer technology. The area of use of flash drives is so huge that it is sometimes impossible to even assume that a flash memory module is installed in any particular device . The advantages of flash drives are obvious:
- low cost. Especially relevant for low-speed models. The price of the 4 GB version fell below $ 5;
- light weight and dimensions. This is one of the decisive factors that ensured the mass distribution of flash drives. Indeed, it is enough to compare the sizes of old video cameras, audio players, cameras with modern analogs to understand that a real revolution has occurred in the world of mobile and digital devices;

You can do it easier and use the built-in feature of Windows on NTFS partitions - restriction of access rights. File (folder) - Properties - Security. Here, really, someone like that.
Obviously, the issue of the quality protection of information on flash drives on a global scale has not yet been resolved. Who knows, maybe a little time will pass and flash drives with a fingerprint device will become as common as DVD discs are now.
