WORLD'S FIRST PEN DRIVE

Pen Drive or the USB Flash Drive as it is also known as is a data storage device, handy, removable and weigh less. It all started with 8 mb storage when it was officially made public in 1998 by IBM with the intention of replacing the floppy drive in its ThinkPad line of products. The first so-called flash drive was manufactured by M-systems under contract with IBM and was called the disgo.

Ajay V. Bhatt, an Indian-American computer architect developed the USB. The first USB technology began development in 1994, co-invented by Ajay Bhatt of Intel and the USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum, Inc). Compaq, IBM, DEC, Intel, Microsoft, NEC and Nortel joined hands together for the development of USB.  

He was the lead of the team which was formed by these seven companies. The other co-inventor included Sudarshan Bala Cadambi, Shelagh Callahan, Shaun Knoll and Jeff Charles Morriss (all from USA).  One day he was sick of printer plugs as they were not easy to handle and decided to invent something which would be easy to use. Hence he and his team came up with the invention of USB while working at Intel. The first specification for the USB version 1.0 was introduced in 1996
