The Universal Serial Bus (USB) in the computer is a port that allows, well, devices with USB connectors to be attached or linked to the computer. This port enables the user to attach a wide variety of hard drives to store their data.
In some operating systems, the devices you attached to your computer through the USB are detected automatically (so, less the hassle of looking for the driver and installing it manually). These devices range from USB flash drives, additional external devices such as ROMs, floppy drives (though you’ll most likely find only a number of people who still use this) and so on and so forth. You can even transfer files from your mobile phone to your computer’s local hard drive through the USB (if your computer or mobile phone is not Bluetooth or infrared capable).
