The measurement of the USB Disk was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the USB Disk under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the USB Disk should be used.
The term "USB disk" generally refers to a storage device that connects to a computer or other device via a USB port. USB disks can take several forms, including USB flash drives, USB hard drives, and USB solid-state drives (SSDs). Here is a detailed overview of the typical features and functions of such a device:
Technical details:
1. Formats:
- USB Stick (Flash Drive): Compact, portable and uses NAND flash memory.
- USB Hard Drive (HDD): 2.5" or 3.5" hard drive in an external enclosure.
- USB-SSD: Solid-state drive in an external enclosure.
2. Interface:
- USB 2.0: Transfer speed up to 480 Mb/s.
- USB 3.0: Transfer speed up to 5 Gb/s (faster speed than USB 2.0).
- USB 3.1/3.2: Transfer speed up to 10 Gb/s or 20 Gb/s.
- USB-C: A modern standard that supports higher speeds and is often used for newer devices.
3. Capacity:
- USB sticks: Typical capacities range from 4 GB to 1 TB.
- USB hard drives: Typical capacities from 500GB up to 4TB or more.
- USB SSDs: Typical capacities from 120GB up to 2TB or more.
4. Performance:
- Read speed: May vary, e.g. up to 100 MB/s for USB sticks and up to 5000 MB/s for USB SSDs.
- Write speed: Varies depending on device and interface.
5. Power supply:
- USB sticks and USB SSDs: Are powered by the computer's USB port and do not require an external power adapter.
- USB hard drives: May require external power, especially 3.5" models, while 2.5" models can often only be powered by USB.
Features:
1. Portability: USB disks are portable and easy to carry, making them ideal for quickly sharing and backing up data.
2. Plug-and-Play: Many USB disks are ready to use immediately after connection, without the need to install additional drivers.
3. Encryption: Some models offer hardware or software encryption to ensure the security of stored data.
4. Backup and Restore: Good for regular data backups and restores.
5. Data Transfer: Ideal for quickly transferring data between different computers and devices.
Areas of application:
1. Data Transfer: Ideal for quickly transferring data between different computers and devices.
2. Backup: Useful for regularly backing up important data and documents.
3. Media File Storage: Suitable for storing and managing large media files such as photos, music and videos.
4. Expansion of Storage Space: Can serve as an external extension for computers and laptops that need additional storage space.
5. Portable applications: For use on different computers, e.g. to carry programs or portable applications.
Conclusion:
The term "USB Disk" covers a variety of storage solutions that operate via USB ports. Depending on the type and model, they offer different capacities, speeds and applications. USB flash drives are ideal for fast and portable data storage, while USB hard drives and USB SSDs offer larger capacities and higher speeds. With their plug-and-play functionality, portability and versatility, USB disks are valuable tools for data transfer, data backup and storage in various application scenarios.
