USB 2.0 is the connection type.
The make and model is something like Western Digital Passport 120GB.
Also what OS are you running?

yea jd2066 is right. USB 2.0 is the connection like the monitor connection. The make is something like Maxtor One Toutch 3 or something like that. All you need to do is look on the side of the device and it should have the make on there then just download a driver (google is your freind here) and you should be done.
