What is USB webkey (USB web key )?
USB webkeys( USB web keys ) are a great way of getting people to remember your logo, yet it saves the trouble of remembering a lengthy URL. Plug the Webkey into a USB port and your pre-programmed website automatically launches -- just like magic! If you've read Harry Potter, you'll appreciate this Muggle equivalent of the Portkey.
The USB Web key is a low cost alternative to USB flash memory devices, and an effective way of promoting your company, new product launch, training material, or recruitment campaign. It's available in various shapes.
The USB Web key is pre-programmed with the URL (may up to 110pcs characters) that you provide. Every device is guaranteed to be virus free.
Does the USB webkey has capacity?
USB webkey is essentially a routing device. Beyond the relatively urls programmed into the key so that it can instantly route users to your online destination, the key contains little story which content dozens of charaters ( our audio usb webkey has another device which can content audio information). It has no content storage capacity. This contrasts with "USB sticks" and " USB flash drives" (as they are commonly understood), which provide significant amounts of memory for digital data storage.

Does the magnet affect USB webkeys or USB drives ?
Definitely no. USB webkey and USB drives are much difference from floppy disk or hard drive. Floppy disks and hard drives work through magnetic cells and it will be affected by outside magnet. USB webkey and USB drives don't have such magetic resources which can be affected by outside magnet so it can work well even after long touch of outside magnet.
"A magnet powerful enough to disturb the electrons in flash would be powerful enough to suck the iron out of your blood cells", Bill Frank says.
