About USBDriveLog

USBDriveLog reads two Windows event log channels and lists each USB drive that was connected. For each drive it shows the device model, manufacturer, serial number, capacity, and plug and unplug times. It can read the log of the local computer, a remote computer on the network where you have permission to read the event log, or an event log folder on an external drive.

Results can be copied to a spreadsheet or exported to CSV, tab-delimited, HTML, XML or JSON, including from the command line. Vendor and product names appear when you place the usb.ids file next to the program.

Strengths

  • Shows plug and unplug times with serial numbers
  • Reads local, remote or external-drive event logs
  • Portable single .exe with no installation
  • Command-line export to CSV, HTML, XML and JSON

Limitations

  • Works only on Windows 10 and Windows 11
  • Shows nothing if the required event log channels are turned off
  • Vendor and product names need a separately downloaded usb.ids file
