What is a Mobile Disk?

A mobile disk is a term for a portable disk, which, nowadays, refers to a hard disk drive or SSD that is connected via USB, externally, without needing to be installed inside the computer where it would be connected via SATA or PCIe. It's also a term for USB flash drive products sold by TwinMOS.
