Abstract
Abstract A portable storage device with universal serial bus has a connector that is movable out of or retractable into a case of the portable storage device. The case defines a chamber, in which a main body consisting of a circuit board and the connector is movably positioned. A push member is located above and connected to the main body by way of interference fit, and is exposed from a recess formed at a rear top of the case. By pushing the push member forward and rearward, the connector of the main body is caused to project from or retract into a front end of the case.
