What is the smll metal ring that protrudes form the top of my new Cruzer 16Gb usb flash drive?

A brief question:  What is the small metal ring that protrudes form the top top of my new Cruzer 16Gb “micro” flash?  what might it be used for?

Thanks for your advice.

Thanks, Alfred, for your timely reply:

I misidentified my new USB drive.  It is the CRUZER FIT USB FLASH drive.  I have four of them.

Sticking out of the top of each, away form the connecter pins, is a very small metal tab with a hole pierced through.  It looks like I can stick a piece of fishing line the hole and make a loop to put it on a key ring.  Is that what it’s for?  Or is the tab for write protection.

This is NOT a critical issue.

Yes, for make a loop to put it on a key ring.

Not exist on the pendrives, a tab for write protection.
