This article is about what Live-USB is, the editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you to learn. I hope you can get something after reading this article. Let's take a look at it with the editor.

What we usually call "U disk", the official name is "USB flash drive" (USB Flash Drive), referred to as "UFD". The so-called "Drive" here is actually a kind of "data storage device". Flash memory is a NAND storage technology developed by Toshiba in Japan in 1987, similar to the carrier of EEPROM. This kind of "USB flash drive" is usually very small and light in weight, and its characteristic is that it can be "read and write". Today, as of April this year, the capacity of USB flash drives ranges from 32MB (small capacity) to 64GB (high capacity). The USB flash drive with 2~4GB capacity is a very common "data storage device".

In recent years, there have been many so-called "Live devices" in the IT industry. Here, "Live" means "direct startup". So, can some kind of operating system be embedded in this USB flash drive to make it a "Live-USB" disk? To be clear, can you turn a USB flash drive into a "direct boot" flash drive? In other words, as long as you plug it into the USB port, you can "start" a computer directly?

Frankly speaking, it is not easy to "press" an operating system into a USB flash drive and turn it into a "Live-USB" boot disk, especially if it is only a copy of a "Live-USB" disk. To be clear, the replication of VCD disk is essentially different from that of USB disk and DVD disc, and the nature of the two is not the same.

"Ubuntu U disk" refers to the "direct boot" U disk embedded in Ubuntu software package, that is, the so-called "Ubuntu Live- U disk". Nowadays, according to the development trend of international IT industry, the application of USB equipment is "expanding day by day", which is an important part of the global IT ecological chain and a new "bud" of the world IT ecosystem.

The above is exactly what Live-USB is. The editor believes that there are some knowledge points that we may see or use in our daily work. I hope you can learn more from this article. For more details, please follow the industry information channel.
