Name

USB_STORAGE — USB mass storage support

Say yes here if you want to connect USB mass storage devices to your computer's USB port. This is the driver you need for USB floppy drives, USB hard disks, USB tape drives, USB CD-ROMs, USB flash devices, and memory sticks, along with similar devices. This driver may also be used for some cameras and card readers.

This option enables the SCSI option, but you probably also need SCSI device support: SCSI disk support for most USB storage devices to work properly.
