Question

Is it possible to investigate if a pendrive has been connected to a specific PC? Are there any traces left on the device?

depends on the device if it logs anything - for as cheap as they are, no — schroeder, Jun 01 '17 at 14:41
Wait, do you mean that you have the PC and want to check if a certain device connected to it? — schroeder, Jun 01 '17 at 14:42
A registry key is usually created which contains either the serial number or another identifier for the USB device. You can find it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR\ — Farhan.K, Jun 01 '17 at 14:53

You could try USBDeview utility. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html Traces might be left on the PC, but not the device.

The device keeps no information of the latest PC it was connected to? – Revious Jun 01 '17 at 14:59

I suppose that could depend on the driver of the device but I've never seen that on any device. – Kotzu Jun 01 '17 at 15:17
