Depends what you are reffering to obviously ( You werent specific as to the physical size of the device or type of memory it uses, ie a hard drive that is external ie it spins and makes sounds when you access it or flash memory based like an ipod or mp3 players ( to a certain degree ) because some mp3 players have hard drives inside of them.
From what you are asking in the question all i can say is it would be an external peripheral that has some memory whether it be a hard drive or flash based.

it is going to be working fantastic as you're getting the pop up asserting new hardware put in. perhaps you're purely no longer seeing it. Open My workstation, press F5 which will refresh it in case its no longer finished so. in many circumstances a popular workstation will basically have one HD force "C" ... in there you're able to see the different one. D is additionally your CD/DVD force so which you're able to desire to confirm 3 altogether. If that would not artwork, attempt plug it into yet another USB port ... it is going to pop up with yet another setting up hardware bubble. i've got on no account seen an exterior force on condition that wasn't formatted already so uncertain if it particularly is a situation additionally... mmm... solid success!!
