  2. USB flash drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive

    On April 5, 1999, Amir Ban, Dov Moran, and Oron Ogdan of M-Systems, an Israeli company, filed a patent application entitled "Architecture for a Universal Serial Bus-Based PC Flash Disk". [ 11 ] [ 3 ] The patent was subsequently granted on November 14, 2000, and these individuals have often been recognized as the inventors of the USB flash drive ...

  3. USB mass storage device class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class

    The Linux kernel has supported USB mass-storage devices since version 2.3.47 [3] (2001, backported to kernel 2.2.18 [4]).This support includes quirks and silicon/firmware bug workarounds as well as additional functionality for devices and controllers (vendor-enabled functions such as ATA command pass-through for ATA-USB bridges, used for S.M.A.R.T. or temperature monitoring, controlling the ...

  4. Flash memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

    Whereas NOR flash might address memory by page then word, NAND flash might address it by page, word and bit. Bit-level addressing suits bit-serial applications (such as hard disk emulation), which access only one bit at a time. Execute-in-place applications, on the other hand, require every bit in a word to be accessed simultaneously. This ...

  5. exFAT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT

    Like NTFS, exFAT can pre-allocate disk space for a file by just marking arbitrary space on disk as "allocated". For each file, exFAT uses two separate 64-bit fields in the directory: the valid data length (VDL), which indicates the real size of the file, and the physical data length.

    As a consequence of rapid development of electronic computers, capability for integration of existing input, output, and storage devices was a determinant factor in their adoption. [8]

  7. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

    Then follow the starting and ending 64 bit LBAs, partition attributes, and the 36 character (max.) Unicode partition name. As is the nature and purpose of GUIDs and as per RFC 4122, no central registry is needed to ensure the uniqueness of the GUID partition type designators.

  8. Live USB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB

    To set up a live USB system for commodity PC hardware, the following steps must be taken: A USB flash drive needs to be connected to the system, and be detected by it; One or more partitions may need to be created on the USB flash drive; The "bootable" flag must be set on the primary partition on the USB flash drive

  9. Disk image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_image

    A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device. [1] [2]Traditionally, disk images were bit-by-bit copies of every sector on a hard disk often created for digital forensic purposes, but it is now common to only copy allocated data to reduce storage space.
