An image forming apparatus connected to a host using a USB and a method of controlling a storage medium included in the same are provided. A control signal with respect to the storage unit from a USB host is received, and the storage unit is controlled in response to the control signal by outputting the control signal to the storage unit through a USB hub connected to the storage unit using a device class, such as Mass Storage Class (MSC). Accordingly, when a storage medium, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), included in an image forming apparatus is controlled, decrease of system performance due to storage medium control by a main processor can be reduced by allowing not only the main processor but also a USB host to directly control the storage medium using a USB hub and device class such as Mass Storage Class.
