Format as Local Disk or Removable Storage?

USB Flash Drives can be formatted either as ‘Removable Storage’ or as a ‘Local Disk’. At INTEGRITY we format flash drives as ‘Local Disks’ by default, though on special request we can format your order of flash drives as ‘Removable Storage’. Advantage of Local Disk: Local Disks can support Autorun. You can read about the benefits of Autorun here. Advantage of Removable Storage: Some network administrators may want to control use of USB Flash Drives on their internal Network. This can sometimes be easier to administrate if the flash drives appear as removable storage.
