Data storage system including recessed USB port

A data storage system includes a computer and a USB device insertable into the computer. The computer includes a housing having an exterior surface that defines a recessed USB port. The recessed USB port includes an internal wall separated from the exterior surface, a USB receptacle formed in the internal wall, and a well extending between the internal wall and the exterior surface of the housing. The USB receptacle is in electrical communication with the central processing unit. The USB device includes a case defining a first end and an opposing second end and a USB connector extending from the first end of the case. In this regard, the well of the recessed USB port is configured to receive substantially an entirety of the case of an inserted USB device such that the second end of the case is substantially coplanar with the exterior surface of the housing.
