Use of Flashdrives

Should CCSD21 staff use flashdrives?
If you are using your staff
laptop as intended, there really should be no
reason to use flashdrives. Remember, all of your
data is portable and can move to and from school
with you on your laptop. All files in your
Documents folder are automatically synced
(backed up) on your school’s file server.
Therefore, the use of flashdrives is really not
necessary, and using flashdrives poses security
risks as they are easily lost. If you do find
yourself needing to transfer or archive data
(perhaps movies, music, or pictures), your best
option is to burn these onto disks, such as CD
or DVD. The computer is equipped with a CD/DVD
burner, so this process is very simple. (See Apple’s support article for
more information.)
