Is there any way to find out whether Flash/ Pen Drive has been used on a computer ?

Question

I mean to ask if it is possible to know whether a pen drive has been used on a computer even after it has been detached.

Answer 1

"Recent Files" folder may show the links to the missing removable drive (If not already cleared)

Answer 2

Actually, yes.

I only know how to do it in Windows though, not Apple or Linux.

The easiest way to determine whether a flash drive has been used on your system is by looking for any drivers installed recently on your computer that would be related to that particular flash device.

Alternatively, you can go to the control panel and then to administrative tools.

Then go to Computer management.

There are two possible locations where this information can be found. If the computer has not been turned off since the device was last plugged in, then you should be able to find the information under Universal Serial bus (USB) Controllers tab.

Otherwise, go to system devices and see if it is listed there.

An important note: Most computer savvy people will know how to delete the history and drivers from the system thus making it impossible to tell if the device was ever attached.

Hope I helped

A Flash force and a Pen force are 2 names for the comparable element. Flash/Pen drives are exterior transportable storage media. think of of them as a CD-RW disc that works on any workstation with a USB port. RAM, on the different hand, is Random get entry to memory. it quite is the "memory" that your workstation makes use of to run purposes, your OS, etc. RAM is a chip that plugs into your motherboard, and is non-detachable on an identical time as your workstation is in operation. It takes each and every of the tips your processor isn't on the instant engaged on and holds it till your processor desires it back. on homestead windows computers, RAM purely holds what's needed for the classes at the instant working. On particular Linux structures, some predictive application caches a number of your purposes which you employ maximum often on an identical time as that component to RAM isn't needed with a view to have that distinctive application open swifter if and once you establish to open it. this equipment isn't actual open, regardless of the undeniable fact that it quite is in a position to be opened, as against your workstation having to pass and locate it off the puzzling Disc when you establish to open it.

Answer 4

Not that I know of.

You might be able to figure out if the computer has ever used any type of flash memory, but you would not be able to find out when, or what kind of flash memory was attached.
