It is small, lightweight, removable and rewritable.
Pen drives are faster, hold more data, and are generally more reliable than floppy disks, which were previously used for relatively quick portable storage
Most drives are active only when powered by a USB computer connection, and require no other external power source or battery power source; key drives are run off the limited supply afforded by the USB connection (5 volts and up to 500 mA).
