There are many types of solid state memory which is based on electronics as opposed to traditional hard disks. The widespread devices are based on the so called flash memory chips, and are collectively referred to as FLASH MEMORY.
USB sticks, typically up to several gigabytes in size. These are just like a regular removable device attached via USB port.
Various memory cards used with digital camera, digital voice recorders, digital media players, PDAs and so on. Variations are Compact flash, SD, Memory Stick, and so on.

Disk cloning vs disk imaging
Disk cloning is a process of creating the identical copy of a physical disk on another disk (physical).
Disk imaging implies that a resulting image is stored in the file rather than on a disk. The image file is mostly used to hold a dormant copy of data. This copy would not be readily accessible for there exists no easy way to access the file system stored inside the image file.

Zlon
It is a disk imaging tool. It can create a copy of the hard drive in its entirety.
Simplistic backup implementation - backup the entire physical disk.
Securing the evidence in computer forensics.
The backed up image can be either deployed onto the physical disk or fed into the data recovery or forensic software.

What is Disk Space Visualizer?
The program was created to simplify garbage collection procedures.
This may include temporary files.
Additionally forgotten data is a common cause of this problem. Upon the first run of the Disk Space Visualizer we have immediately discovered about 18GB worth of log files. Obviously we forgot to delete these files when done with them.
Buried somewhere deep in nested folders, these logs sat there unnoticed for few months. It was quite a relief to get rid of them especially taking into account, 60GB capacity of the disk.
