The data storage drive consisting of flash memory with an internal USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface is known as a USB flash drive. These drivers are removable and rewritable as well, and appear smaller than an optical disc. Most of the USB flash drives weigh less than 30 grams (that is 1.1 oz). By the month of January, 2013, around 512 GB (gigabytes) USB drives were available. At the Consumer Electronics Show in 2013, a one Terabyte (TB) drive was introduced that became available in the market the same year. Soon, USBs with storage capacities that would be as large as 2 TB are currently planned with various improvements in size and price. Some of the drives also let you enjoy 100,000 write and erase cycles. However, this depends on the kind of memory chip used. These devices have storage time of 10 year shelf.
USB drives are generally used for similar purposes for which floppy disks or CDs were used, that are for the purposes of storage, transfer of computer files and back up as well. They are small, quicker and have more capacity than CDs and are even more reliable and durable as they don’t have any moving parts. Moreover, they are not influenced by magnetic interference (whereas floppy disks are influenced by the same) and are not at all harmed by surface scratches as well. Till the year 2005, most laptops as well as desktop computers were provided with floppy disk drives along with USB ports but now floppy disk drives are not widely used since they have lower capacity when compared to USB drives.
USB mass storage standard is used by USB flash drives and these are supported by modern operation systems like OS X, Linus, UNIX, Windows, BIOS boot ROMs, etc. These drives with USB 2.0 feature can store larger data and transfer quicker than several larger optical disc drives like DVD RW or CD RW drives. These drives can be read by several systems like Xbox 360, DVD players, handheld devices like smartphones, tablet computers, Plat station 3, etc., although SD card is better for such devices.
Small printed circuit board consisting of various circuit elements, USB connector, electrically insulated and protected in a metal, rubber or plastic case that can be carried anywhere like a key chain, are some things that a flash drive has. The removable cap may be given to protect the USB connector or it is generally done by retracting it into the drive’s body. However, even if it is not protected, it doesn’t get damaged easily. Most of the flash drives have type A USB connected that lets the drive connect with the port on a PC, however, there’s an existence of drives for other interfaces as well. With the help of a USB connection, USB flash drives gather power to work. Some of the devices club the digital audio player function with USB flash storage. Such devices need a better battery when they are used to play music for users.

This topic is for programmers. If you are a customer experiencing USB problems, see Troubleshoot common USB problems

This topic lists the Microsoft-provided drivers for the supported USB device classes.

• Microsoft-provided drivers for USB-IF approved device classes.
• For composite devices, use USB Generic Parent Driver (Usbccgp.sys) that creates physical device objects (PDOs) for each function.
• For non-composite devices or a function of a composite device, use WinUSB (Winusb.sys).

If you are installing USB drivers: You do not need to download USB device class drivers. They are installed automatically. These drivers and their installation files are included in Windows. They are available in the WindowsSystem32DriverStoreFileRepository folder. The drivers are updated through Windows Update.

If you are writing a custom driver: Before writing a driver for your USB device, determine whether a Microsoft-provided driver meets the device requirements. If a Microsoft-provided driver is not available for the USB device class to which your device belongs, then consider using generic drivers, Winusb.sys or Usbccgp.sys. Write a driver only when necessary. More guidelines are included in Choosing a driver model for developing a USB client driver.

USB Device classes

USB Device classes are categories of devices with similar characteristics and that perform common functions. Those classes and their specifications are defined by the USB-IF. Each device class is identified by USB-IF approved class, subclass, and protocol codes, all of which are provided by the IHV in device descriptors in the firmware. Microsoft provides in-box drivers for several of those device classes, called USB device class drivers. If a device that belongs to a supported device class is connected to a system, Windows automatically loads the class driver, and the device functions with no additional driver required.

Hardware vendors should not write drivers for the supported device classes. Windows class drivers might not support all of the features that are described in a class specification. If some of the device's capabilities are not implemented by the class driver, vendors should provide supplementary drivers that work in conjunction with the class driver to support the entire range of functionality provided by the device.

For general information about USB-IF approved device classes see the USB Common Class Specification

The current list of USB class specifications and class codes is documented in the USB-IF Defined Class Code List.

Device setup classes

Windows categorizes devices by device setup classes, which indicate the functionality of the device.

Microsoft defines setup classes for most devices. IHVs and OEMs can define new device setup classes, but only if none of the existing classes apply. For more information, see System-Defined Device Setup Classes.

Two important device setup classes for USB devices are as follows:

• USBDevice {88BAE032-5A81-49f0-BC3D-A4FF138216D6}: IHVs must use this class for custom devices that do not belong to another class. This class is not used for USB host controllers and hubs.

• USB {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}: IHVs must not use this class for their custom devices. This is reserved for USB host controllers and USB hubs.

The device setup classes are different from USB device classes discussed earlier. For example, an audio device has a USB device class code of 01h in its descriptor. When connected to a system, Windows loads the Microsoft-provided class driver, Usbaudio.sys. In Device Manager, the device is shown under is Sound, video and game controllers, which indicates that the device setup class is Media.
