Probably the biggest problem with flash drives is the physical size ...
most of them are so small it's easy to lose them (for example, falling
out of your pocket without you noticing, forgetting to unplug them when
leaving the computer). Many of them have some way to attach them to
your keyring, but unless you only have a couple of keys, that's becomes
cumbersome when you want to plug the flash drive in.
