Find when your USB device was last Accessed

If you work on a shared system be at your work or at home, you must have experience when you want to know if your pen drive was used secretly by anyone in your absence or not. This was the same case with one of our readers who wanted to find out if there is any way to find out if the data in his USB drive was accessed by someone or not.

If this is the same case with you then you must have noted by now that it is somewhat difficult to determine the time but with the help of some third party tools we can determine that. On researching a method to do that, I came across a tool called USBDeview which can help to achieve our objective.

USBDeview is a small app using which we can get to know the details of all the USB drives that are either connected the system or previously were. For each USB device, exteneded information is displayed: Device name/description, device type, serial number (for mass storage devices), the date/time that device was added, VendorID, ProductID, and more.

USBDeview also allows you to uninstall USB devices that you previously used, disconnect USB devices that are currently connected to your computer, as well as to disable and enable USB devices. Installing the tool is very simple as you just need to download and run it which will actually show the details of the drive connected.

The app will surely help you in determining the last time your USB was accessed.
