Define USB (Universal Serial Bus) drives
Basic Electrical Engineering A Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is a common feature on both desktop and notebook computers as well as many handheld devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, and cell phones. The USB 2.0 specification (org(Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)) permits data transfer between a computer and a peripheral device at rates up to 480 megabits per second.  One important feature of USB is the ability to swap peripherals without having  to power down a computer.  USB ports are also capable of supplying power to external peripherals.  A USB cable is a four-conductor cable with two signal conductors and two conductors for providing power.  The amount of current that can be provided over a USB port is defined in the USB specification in terms of unit loads, where one unit load is specified to be 100 mA.  All USB ports default to low-power ports at one unit load, but can be changed under soft-ware control to high-power ports capable of supplying…
