When we use USBs, we always have to check whether we have enough memory left for further usage. So we have to go through the usual process: connect the USB to the computer, open the folder, and check the amount of memory left. This is obviously a very bothersome process, and is even impossible go through when we do not have a computer beside us. "Read Me USB" will help you solve these problems. “Read Me USB” allows you to view the remaining memory on-the-go. When you gently press the body, the ‘7 segment LED’ lights up visually and tells you the remaining memory. “Read Me USB” LED is always on when the USB is connected to the main computer.
