Is it a
USB Drive
I flash... But, illumination is not always to be found
Also called Flash drives
I recall... Yet, others give me amnesia
Memory storage, and deletion
I am little... Still, I can be quite large
Finger sized, but with many gigs of space
I will carry things for you... Conversely, I must receive them first
Portable information store
I communicate very fast... Still, you prefer it that way
USB protocols are getting faster
I am bigger than my older brothers... Yet, I am much smaller than they
More memory, less physical size than earlier portable storage CD/Floppy
I used to only have one friend... But, I now play with many
Started out only really working with PCs, now work with many devices.

$\begingroup$ The clue
flashmight be understood here asblinking [led]indicating activity. It is not mandatory though, to have one. $\endgroup$ – Matsmath Sep 9 '16 at 15:53 -
$\begingroup$ The led is the reason I put the second half of that line, to help people realize that "Flash" wasn't talking about lights. $\endgroup$ – dcfyj Sep 9 '16 at 17:51
