How to Convert a CD onto a Flash Drive
While a traditional compact disc (CD) can hold up to 750 MB of data, a flash drive can hold much more data and has a larger storage capability. The flash drive is built to withstand weather and temperature conditions, harsh natural elements and its portability makes it a quick method for transferring information from one computer to the next. Whether you have videos, images or other data files, you can transfer your files from a CD to a flash drive with a few clicks of a mouse.
