## Questions & Answers

**Q: most write protect switches are "advisory" and enforced by the computer OS.  does this actually disable write at the usb flash drive level?**
A: It physically stops writing and has saved me countless times from viruses.

**Q: what is a read-only flash drive?**
A: The flash drive is actually conditionally read-only, depending upon the position of the read-only switch.  In the read-only position, the drive cane be read from but not written to -- this is useful if you want to use it to store a clean copy of an operating system installation disk (especially since a fair number of modern computers do not have a CD/DVD/BluRay drive, let alone floppy drive, that would have served the same purpose in past years) -- you never know when you might need this if your computer develops a persistent crash or virus/worm/Trojan horse infection.  In the other position, the drive can be written to -- this is how you put the clean copy of the operating system installation disk (or whatever) on there in the first place (from a known good system).

**Q: What is the capacity of this drive?**
A: 16 GB
