The Problem and Its setting

Introduction

Due to the improvement of gadgets from time to time, many things have been

invented due to the reason that science is evolving, science is changing and has always

been improving every once in a while. When science is changing, it could be considered

that an era has changed, like when internet has been invented, the whole world has been

changed, no more kids on the street playing games and a quarrel over the internet about

how times changed saying “in my time” which has also been a thing about parents saying

that the time of their children will never be as hard as their time. Also, in school there is a

representation of how time change because of science, like having a TV, Powerpoint,

Online assignments, Online enrollment, projector and many more technological devices

that changes teaching in a different approach.

In this current state of time, there is an item called “laptop”. A laptop is an item

primarily used for working overseas or working in a further place than what a computer

can reach. A laptop is gadget/device that is made solely for a person’s convenience,

having a laptop can make a person work anytime, anywhere if and only if he has enough

battery for the work though. Making you work in a place even being far from everything

could also be called efficiency. Being efficient every time will always be a survival

requirement of a human, efficiency will always be a human’s daily meal.

 Having a laptop is already very convenient and could make a person very efficient

if the person could manage his time properly of course. But why not take this

“convenience” and “efficiency” to another level. Convenience and efficiency have

already walked a very long path till this day but why not take it a little further.

Statement of the Problem

a. What type of USB should be used?

b. Could it reduce the Flash drive’s reading/writing speed?

c. Will fragility be a problem?

Ho – There is no significant differences in all treatments of the study.

Review of Related Literature

There is a research of putting a USB storage at a mouse regardless he used a

cabled mouse which is merely connected to this research but the fact that the idea is

somewhat bridged. This research could be an important inspiration [CITATION Mik10 \l

1033 ]. A mouse is something you push along your desktop to make a cursor (pointing

device) move on your screen. So what a mouse has to do is figure out how much you're

moving your hand and in which direction. There are two main kinds of mice and they do

this job in two different ways, either using a rolling rubber ball (in a ball-type mouse) or

by bouncing a light off your desk (in an optical mouse). [ CITATION Chr191 \l 1033 ]

A computer mouse is a handheld hardware input device that controls a cursor in

a GUI (graphical user interface) and can move and select text, icons, files, and folders on

your computer[CITATION Com19 \l 1033 ]. Adding a considerable amount of USB storage

with the mouse is the main purpose of this research [CITATION Chr13 \l 1033 ].

Universal Series Bus, known to us all primarily as USB, is a way to establish

contact between two devices. It is possible to connect devices such as printers, cameras,

music players, scanners, etc. to the computer; USB has a wide range of uses and one of

them is electrical power support that is used to charge batteries and power smartphones

[CITATION Mad17 \l 1033 ]. It is normally used to transfer, gather or communicate with

other devices [CITATION Mau19 \l 1033 ].

 The various forms of USB links, as USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, are worried about the

usefulness and speed of the USB link; while, the kind of USB link (like USB Type A,

USB Type B) basically alludes to the physical plan of the fittings and ports. [ CITATION

Ash15 \l 1033 ]

USB Type-A ports/repositories are found on practically any cutting edge PC like

gadget that can go about as a USB have, including, obviously, PCs of various types

including work areas, PCs, netbooks, and numerous tablets. [ CITATION Tim19 \l 1033 ]

The data transfer speed will be restricted by the slowest of the connected devices

when linking devices with different USB models. It means that when you connect a USB

2.0 device to a USB 1.1 device, data transfer must take place at 12 Mbps, although the

USB 2.0 device will transfer data at 480 Mbps [ CITATION Son19 \l 1033 ].

Keep in mind that USB 2.0 never even achieved its peak speed. It is rare for a 2.0 

flash drive to reach a read speed of more than 40MBps. Reliably reaching USB 3.0 at spe

eds almost three times the speed of USB 2.0 at speeds up to 5gbps or 640 mbps

[ CITATION Lin14 \l 1033 ].

A flash drive commonly found and used in school is a flash drive with 3.0 USB, a

3.0 USB has a speed of 5gbps at its peak and also has a good price at every market

[ CITATION Jim13 \l 1033 ].

In the process of this research, if this research come out successful, there is a

possibility that the transfer speed could be fix. There is actually 6 methods. 1 st Connect

the USB to Rear Port, 2nd Update USB/Chipset Drivers, 3rd Enable USB 3.0 Port, 4 th
Optimize the Performance of the USB ,5 th Convert FAT32 to NTFS,6th Format USB. -

[CITATION Tra19 \l 1033 ]

A specific amount of data can only be fit inside a USB flash drive, for example, a

64gb flash drive could only carry approximately 2000 photos, 4000 songs, 16gb office

files, 160 mins of video hours [ CITATION San18 \l 1033 ]. A USB flash drive is quiet

limited for data transferring when you are considering the budget you use in buying a

USB flash drive [ CITATION Des19 \l 1033 ].

There are many complaints for a USB flash drive because it sometimes has

problems with copying a file that is too large for it to handle. This complain could mean

that a flash drive isn’t meant to be used with transferring a large file. Which means that

having its limited storage shouldn’t be a problem cause it is meant for only small scale

data transferring [ CITATION Jas17 \l 1033 ] [ CITATION JPD16 \l 1033 ].

It is vital for business and personal use to transfer data from one point to another.

A USB flash drive is a device for data storage that is often small enough to fit in your

hand palm. A USB flash drive uses the computer's flash memory via a USB port,

according to Candidity.org. This indicates a quick port for the USB flash drives

[ CITATION Ann18 \l 1033 ]. Small and light flash drives, use little power, and they have no

fragile moving parts. Scratches, powder, magnetic fields, and mechanical shock are

impervious to data stored on flash drives. This makes them perfect for convenient

transportation of data without the risk of damage [ CITATION Fle19 \l 1033 ].

 Because of its size, the life expectancy of a USB flash drive can be reduced. The

compact size of this system is an advantage because it is lightweight, but a liability

because it can easily be misplaced and lost. It can be dangerous to take the drive to

university, work or on a business trip [ CITATION Ran17 \l 1033 ]. Your USB flash drive

doesn't have moving parts, which is a massive point in its favor of stability, as it doesn't

have to worry about things like read / write head crashes and scratches. All the data

resides on a soldered NAND chip on the PCB of the computer. The flash memory would

be equal to platter damage and rotational scoring if a large NAND chip cracked or broke [

CITATION Gil17 \l 1033 ]

A USB flash drive might be small and easy to lose but with the cause of

innovation, a USB flash drive can already be placed in a key chain invented from a long

period of time by now. Means, securing your flash drive to avoid from losing it is now

easier [ CITATION Jor19 \l 1033 ][ CITATION Pat19 \l 1033 ].

In terms of technology, scale really matters. This time is the case with the USB

Flash drive, which is used loosely to store on - the-go large files and is preferred by more

and more users to be as tiny as possible [ CITATION Ale16 \l 1033 ] . We've seen flash drives

grow steadily smaller and smaller thanks to experts as storage capacity is doing the exact

opposite [CITATION Tim15 \l 1033 ].

 Considering both products to be a product of convenience and a product made to

accompany its user in travelling. These 2 items are made for its user to carry it anytime

the owner feels like to is what’s making this 2 products so suitable with each other

[ CITATION Mat13 \l 1033 ][ CITATION Com17 \l 1033 ].

Efficiency is required in every life aspect. Many researches and many things were

made just to be more efficient in everything in this world. Having a flash drive is relevant

in this current state of time, having a flash drive considering its given advantages to a

person’s daily life is quiet massive making work less of a work actually [ CITATION Jes18 \l

1033 ]. Also having a Computer mouse makes a laptop user work faster compared to ones

who uses the touch pad [ CITATION Biz18 \l 1033 ]. Having this items makes working a lot

efficient in many ways.

A laptop has many kinds of USB ports but the USB-type A’s ports (commonly)

which is highlighted in this research, having only 2 or 3 on those is a holdback [ CITATION

VSB19 \l 1033 ] [ CITATION Ola18 \l 1033 ].

In a mouse, durability won’t be a problem because many mice has been produced

with utter durability [ CITATION Ric20 \l 1033 ] . Also, the flash drive durability will not be

an issue, while it’s small and look fragile, it’s made solely to travel a file to another

which made durability as an important factor of a Flash drive [ CITATION Bet15 \l 1033 ]
