Hidden files saved by Mac OS X into USB drive
In the normal course of events, I would not expect any information about your Mac to be transferred to a USB drive.
TextEdit can be configured to contain the Author's name in metadata for Rich Text files (.rtf
), but not Text files (.txt
). See TextEdit's Preferences dialog, or File > Show Properties.
The Finder might save a .DS_Store file to the drive, which would contain data about the folders on the disk.e.g. custom icons, position in windows, etc.

No logs or info about your Mac or your username should be copied.
