What is the USB Storage Driver?
The USB Storage Driver is a software component that enables the operating system (Windows in this case) to interact with USB storage devices (such as USB flash drives, external hard drives, SSDs, etc.). This driver helps your system to recognize and communicate with storage devices connected via the USB port.
Without the USB Storage Driver, Windows may not be able to access or transfer data to/from the device, or it may not recognize the device at all.
