USB

usb
Noun
pl: USBs

This term functions as both a technical specification for a connection interface and a shorthand for the physical hardware used for storage. When referring to the port or the standard, it describes the architecture of the connection. When referring to a storage device, it is a common colloquialism for a USB flash drive.

In technical documentation, the term is typically written in uppercase as an acronym. While it is used as a countable noun when referring to specific ports or drives, it is treated as an uncountable noun when referring to the general industry standard or technology.
