-A KeyDrive is basically a bit of flash memory with a [USB] interface. They're roughly as large as a thumb (so sometimes referred to as "thumb drive") and perfect for carrying one around on your keychain (hence the name "key drive"). Their capacity is commonly 128[MB], which makes them a more sensible contemporary means of transporting data than [FloppyDisk]s would be. You can even boot from one, if your [BIOS] knows how to talk to them. Some [RemovableMediaDistribution
]s are bootable directly from a KeyDrive, others can use a KeyDrive to make your home directory and other configuration data persistent.
