What storage devices contains no moving parts and connect directly to a USB port?

Assuming you mean a data-storage device (for use with computers) then the most clear cut answer would be a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM, neither of which have any moving parts by themselves. The disc-reader however would have moving parts which may negate the idea of a stationary storage device.Flash memory is another form of storage which is commonly found in USB drives and small electronics. It has no moving parts.
