For example, a USB 2 PCIe host controller card that presents 4 USB "Standard A" connectors typically presents one 4-port EHCI and two 2-port OHCI controllers to system software. When a high-speed USB device is attached to any of the 4 connectors, the device is managed through one of the 4 root hub ports of the EHCI controller.
An external hard drive enclosure that uses a 2.5-in drive and a USB connection for power and transfer. Key benefits to using external disk enclosures include: Adding additional storage space and media types to small form factor and laptop computers, as well as sealed embedded systems such as digital video recorders [1] and video game consoles.

A number of extensions to the USB Specifications have progressively further increased the maximum allowable V_BUS voltage: starting with 6.0 V with USB BC 1.2, [43] to 21.5 V with USB PD 2.0 [44] and 50.9 V with USB PD 3.1, [44] while still maintaining backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 by requiring various forms of handshake before ...
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 ...
A data cable (top) and control cable (below) connecting a controller card and an ST-506 type HDD. Power cable not shown. The earliest hard disk drive (HDD) interfaces were bit serial data interfaces that connected an HDD to a controller with two cables, one for control and one for data.

This section describes the power distribution model of USB that existed before Power-Delivery (USB-PD). On devices that do not use PD, USB provides up to 4.5 W through Type-A and Type-B connectors, and up to 15 W through USB-C. All pre-PD USB power is provided at 5 V. For a host providing power to devices, USB has a concept of the unit load ...
The absence of moving parts in USB flash devices allows true random access, thereby avoiding the rotational latency and seek time (see also mechanical latency) of hard drives or optical media, meaning small programs will start faster from a USB flash drive than from a local hard disk or live CD. However, as USB devices typically achieve lower ...
