Depending on how it's structured, usually a filesystem in any storage device will contain boot code (if it's set to run on start up especially if it contains a bootable operating system), a partition table, a file table (contains the addresses of each file and folder in the disk itself) , a journal (if it is a journaling system - to keep track of changes in case of a failure), their backups, and the actual data itself.
