Here the 6 way to convert your USB pen drive into the unlimited powerhouse
Here the 6 way to convert your USB pen drive into the unlimited powerhouseLets know today what is the other use can be done with this small looking pen drive. I am showing some tricks of this what will really surprised you.
1. Install a full-feather apps suite
Using a full-featured apps suite is one of the most common ways to get the most out of your USB pen drive. These suite of tools can help you run just about any software right from that small piece of hardware. They are basically a collection of portable versions of popular tools, organized in an impressive manner. The most popular among these is portable Apps. Another good one is Win Pen Pack. Try them out and use the one that fits your needs the most.
2.Use its a boot able device
Using a CD/DVD to install an operating system is out of fashion, apart from being less convenient. Use your pen drive to create a boot able version of an OS you likely to use each day. Heck, you could also use it to boot multiple operating systems.
3.Use it to store data safely
Got a lot of pen drives lying around? Why not use some of them as an encrypted storage of confidential data. Most of the popular encryption tools, like True Crypt, offer a way to encrypt an external drive. If you want to store and use passwords from it, powerful password managers like last Pass and keePass offer portable versions to help you carry them around. The setup might take some time but could come in handy on a rainy day.
4. Use Windows To Go
Not many know that the Enterprise version of Windows 8 can be run completely off a USB pen drive. Of course the drive should be 32 GB or larger but then those aren't hard to come by these days. Here's a guide on how to set it up. This isn't useful to the everyday Windows user but I am sure many business owners would find it interesting and might just consider handing over their employees such Windows To Go enabled drives so that they could work in a familiar environment from any computer.
5. Use it to run Drop box or Google Drive on other computers
You start working on someone else, or may be a public computer and you realize that all your important files are on Drop box (or Google Drive). And you've always hated their web versions. What do you do now? How about a thumb drive running the portable version of those tools? Drop box portable should be available in the Portable Apps suite or you could set it up separately. Google Drive portable can be used vai sync Docs.
6. Use it to create a rescue drive
Last but by no means the least is an option to make your pen drive the ultimate saviour. Most of the anti-virus and anti-spyware tools like AVG and Bit Defender offer a way to create rescue CDs or drives for saving a PC that's non-functional and infected with malware. You may also consider using an all-in-one recovery tool like Ultimate Boot CD.
