Sandisk makes a variety of USB 2.0 flash drives that can be used to store data, as well as transfer data from one computer to another.
While there are several different models of USB 2.0 flash drives created by Sandisk, all of the flash drives work fundamentally the same way.
Connecting Your Sandisk USB 2.0 Flash Drive
Connect your Sandisk USB 2.0 flash drive to your computer by plugging it into an available USB slot.
All Sandisk flash drives are "plug and play," which means that your computer should automatically recognize your drive, and be able to use it without having to install any additional software. Adding and Deleting Files
Drag and drop files onto the icon for your Sandisk USB 2.0 flash drive in order to add files to the drive.
An icon for the drive should automatically appear on your desktop when you plug the drive in. if the drive does not appear on your desktop, look in the "My Computer" folder on your PC, or "Finder" menu on your Mac to locate your flash drive. Removing Your Sandisk USB 2.0 Flash Drive
Eject your drive from your computer before physically removing it.
On a PC, this is done by right clicking on the drive's icon and selecting "Remove Drive."
On a Mac, this is done by dragging the icon for the device into the trashcan.
If you do not eject your drive before removing it, you run the risk of losing data you have already stored on the drive, or corrupting the flash drive so it cannot be used again.
