ABOUT US


GetUSB.info is an independent media property covering the evolution of Universal Serial Bus technology since January 16, 2006.

What began as a simple effort to track emerging USB gadgets has grown into one of the longest-running USB-focused publications on the web.

When USB flash drives began gaining mainstream retail traction around 2004, the ecosystem exploded with innovation. New form factors. Novel gadgets. Creative uses for bus-powered devices. The original mission of GetUSB was simple: keep up.

Since that first post in 2006, the site has published multiple times per week without interruption.

That continuity matters.

The Evolution of USB — and of GetUSB

In the early years, coverage focused heavily on USB-powered gadgets and consumer products. At the time, innovation was visible and exciting. Every week brought something new.

Over time, USB matured.

Gadgets became standardized. Form factors stabilized. Cables became predictable. What changed was not the excitement — but the layer of innovation.

Instead of novelty hardware, the real shifts began happening underneath:

  • NAND flash transitions (MLC ? TLC ? QLC)
  • Controller firmware advancements
  • USB 2.0 ? 3.0 ? 3.2 ? USB4 performance shifts
  • Data integrity and counterfeit flash detection
  • Industrial duplication and media management
  • Security, compliance, and encryption models

As the industry matured, so did the coverage.

Today, GetUSB publishes technical analysis, commentary, tutorials, and long-form educational pieces about flash memory behavior, storage architecture, USB security, data lifecycle management, and emerging storage technologies.

The mission evolved — but the coverage never stopped.

Global Publishing

USB is a global standard. The audience is global as well.

In addition to the primary English publication, GetUSB content is published on separate country-specific domains in:

  • German
  • Dutch
  • Italian
  • Indonesian
  • Japanese
  • Brazilian Portuguese

Each language operates on its own dedicated domain infrastructure, allowing regional audiences to access technically accurate USB coverage in their native language.

The goal is not simple translation — but global technical clarity.

Reach and Audience

GetUSB serves a broad but technically aligned audience:

  • Engineers
  • IT managers
  • Storage buyers
  • Manufacturers
  • Integrators
  • Technology enthusiasts

USB touches nearly every computing environment. Because of that, the readership reflects the entire ecosystem.

To date (Feb 2026), GetUSB has generated more than 7,555,000 page views, with approximately:

  • 58% organic search traffic
  • 35% direct traffic
  • The remainder via referrals

The strong direct traffic percentage reflects long-term returning readers — many who have followed the site for over a decade.

In February 2026 alone, the site received over 10,000 visitors.

Industry Recognition

Over the years, GetUSB has been cited or referenced by major publications and technology outlets, including:

Manufacturers routinely reach out for product reviews, testing feedback, durability commentary, and early opinions on upcoming devices. Participation in pre-launch discussions and beta programs has become common.

The site operates as an independent voice — focused on clarity, technical accuracy, and long-term relevance rather than short-term hype.

Ownership & Independence

GetUSB.info operates as an independent editorial property.

While owned by Nexcopy Inc., editorial content remains focused on broader USB technology, flash storage trends, and industry developments — not exclusively on any single manufacturer.

USB is larger than any one company. The coverage reflects that.

A Living Archive

The USB industry has changed dramatically since 2006.

Operating systems have shifted. Storage densities have multiplied. Interface speeds have increased exponentially. Security expectations have matured.

Through all of it, GetUSB has remained active.

No relaunches. No abandoned archives. No reset.

Just continuous coverage.

As technology evolves, so will this site.

That commitment — uninterrupted since 2006 — is what defines GetUSB.
