The flash drives are made with plastic and metal in which the outward part of the metal is inserted into a port (computer or other gadgets), and makes it reachable in the computer unit or other gadgets. The DVDs, on the other hand, works through hardware made of plastic shaped into a disc. The disk then will function as a storage device; however, this kind of storage works better for a video clip or movie.
- After that, the flash drive or DVD must be inserted into the respected ports designed for it. The flash drive has a designed port for it, which can be found either at the side or back of a computer unit. There are models of computer units also wherein the flash drive ports are located at the system unit. The DVD also has its own designed port wherein it can be inserted. DVD players are the most compatible and designed appliance for a DVD, wherein it also has different buttons to play the inserted disc.
