---
The term Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device describes a general, non-branded term for USB storage devices that can be connected to a computer or other host device to store and exchange data. This term is often used when a USB device is not recognized as a specific branded product by an operating system (e.g. Windows, macOS, or Linux), or when it is a generic device without special drivers.
A "Generic STORAGE DEVICE" can come in various forms, such as:
- USB sticks (flash drives)
- External hard drives (HDD or SSD)
- SD card readers
- Portable SSDs
Below is a detailed overview of the features, technical details, functions and application areas of a typical USB storage device.
Technical details of a typical "Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device":
Since the term "Generic STORAGE DEVICE" is very general, the technical details can vary greatly depending on the device. The following are typical technical specifications for common USB storage devices:
- Storage capacity:
Can range from a few megabytes (MB) to several terabytes (TB). Common sizes for USB sticks or portable storage are:
- 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB
- 1 TB, 2 TB and higher for external hard drives or SSDs
- Interface:
- USB 2.0: Older interface with a maximum transfer speed of 480 Mbit/s (about 60 MB/s).
- USB 3.0/3.1: Common in modern USB devices, transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s (approx. 625 MB/s).
- USB 3.2/3.2 Gen 2: Newer interfaces with speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s (approx. 1250 MB/s).
- USB-C: Modern USB interface used in many new devices. It usually supports USB 3.0, 3.1 or even 3.2 and offers charging current in addition to data transfer.
- Storage type:
- Flash memory (USB sticks or portable SSDs): Non-volatile memory that has no moving parts and is therefore very robust and shock-resistant.
- HDD (for external hard drives): Contains rotating magnetic disks and mechanical parts that are more sensitive to shocks.
- File system:
- FAT32: One of the oldest and most widely used file systems for USB sticks and smaller drives. It does not support files larger than 4 GB.
- exFAT: More modern file system that supports large files and is compatible with both Windows and macOS.
- NTFS: Mainly used on Windows systems. Supports large files and offers improved security, but is read-only by macOS in standard mode.
- HFS+/APFS: Used on Apple systems for macOS formatted drives.
- Energy consumption:
Usually very low. USB devices get their power directly from the USB port of the host device. Depending on the type of storage, the power consumption can vary:
- USB sticks and SSDs have low power consumption (about 1 to 3 watts).
- External hard disk drives (HDDs) may require more power, especially if they have larger capacities and higher speeds. Some require an external power supply.
- Compatibility:
- Operating Systems: Generic USB storage devices are generally compatible with most operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and others.
- Plug and Play: Most devices are "plug and play", meaning they do not require any special drivers or software to install. They are immediately recognized and ready to use.
Functions of a Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device:
1. Data storage:
