What is the mass storage mode?

The mass storage mode is a setting that makes it easy to integrate a desktop computer or laptop computer with a mobile device. When the mass storage mode is turned on, the mobile device is considered a removable disk that allows the computer to talk directly to the device. While mobile devices go to this storage mode, the computer actually approaches the device memory card and its content. The main advantage of this mode is that the files can be moved quickly and add without temporary software. Some mobile devices force users to manually enable this mode while others allow it automatically. The difference was that the mobile device had to use a temporary driver to communicate with the computer. This medium driver slowed down this process and required the computer's hard disk space. With a mass storage mode, a mobile device is considered a removable disk when it is connected to the Universal Serial BUS (USB) computer ports.

Some mobile devices have internal memory, which means they can store files without a memory card. Most devices require a memory card, and that is where all or most of the device content are stored. This means that when enabling the mass storage mode, the computer directly approaches the memory card. If mobile devices have internal memory, then the computer is usually able to access internal memory and memory card simultaneously.

The primary benefit of using the mass storage mode is that it takes much less time to move and interact with files on mobile devices. Using the controller method, the computer must pass through the driver and start the command to move or add a file, and the controller must hand over the command to the mobile device. With a mass storage, the computer directly says the mobile device Tklobouk wants to move or add a file. This also means that a computer must use less memory to work with a mobile device, which is overconsequence of faster gears.

Mobile devices may require the user to manually enable the mass storage mode. Some devices can automatically start this mode whenever USB connection is created. The performance levels are approximately the same when the computer interacts with the device, regardless of whether it is started manually or automatically.
