For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In re: Lee's post suggesting UMS and/or MTP -- In most cases, users shouldn't need to care which protocol is being used over the USB connection, and that's what those terms relate to. I like, and use, "USB drive"; if there are technical restrictions on either the type of drive or the protocol, those will need to be described somewhere in the documentation, but needn't be embedded in the phrase that's going to be scattered all over the doc.
