How to Check the Model Information of Your USB Flash Drive?

USB flash drives are widely used for storing and transferring data because they're small, large capacity, and transfer files quickly. But sometimes you might need to find out the model, chip, manufacturer info for things like installing drivers, checking compatibility, or warranty services. So how do you check the model of your USB drive? Here are some easy ways:

1. Check through your operating system

1.1. Windows: Once you plug in your USB stick into your computer, just open "My Computer" or "This PC." Look for the letter assigned to your USB drive, right-click on it, and choose "Properties." A window will pop up showing details like the name of the USB stick, file system type, used space, available space—basically all sorts of useful info! While it won't directly show you the model number here, sometimes the name includes that info. If not, you can dig deeper by going into "Disk Drives" in Device Manager.

1.2. Mac: On a Mac computer, after plugging in your USB stick, go ahead and open "Finder," then look for its icon on the sidebar. Right-click on it and select "Get Info." You'll see basic details like its name, capacity and format—but again no direct model number may be shown here either. For more detailed device information, try checking out the "USB" section under "System Report."

2. Use third-party software

If you're looking for something beyond what your operating system offers, there's also third-party software that can help you get all those juicy details about your USB stick—including its model! Programs like ChipGenius can identify and display information such as model numbers and manufacturer details from inside the chip itself. Just download one of these programs and install it and run it while having your U disk plugged in to run.

3. Check the USB flash drive case or label

Some USB flash drives have their model info printed right on the case or label. This is probably the easiest way to find out, but keep in mind that over time, some labels can get smudged or hard to read because of wear and tear.

Using these methods, you can easily figure out your USB drive's model information. Once you've got that, you can do what you need—like checking compatibility, downloading drivers, or getting warranty support.
