agree  Alain BERTRAND: yes, but even in french it stays USB, like in clé USB. My point of view: "It should not be translated" and "Bloc" be used instead of "bus".

Explanation:
Do you mean 'Universal Serial Bus'?
This was the translation proposed on wikipedia :
'bus informatique plug-and-play à transmission série'

But most of the time we simple say 'port usb', 'clé usb'.
