Sp0iLedBrAt Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 USB, USB stick, or USB little key (word-to-word translation). Sometimes I just call it the "thingy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda43 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Does it really matter what you want to call it? You could call it a popcicle if you want, but when you go to buy one, you'd better know what the manufacturer and the dealer calls it, or you may not get what you want.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=379&SRCCODE=WEBGOOFLASH&cm_mmc_o=mH4CjC7BBTkwCjCECjCEApparently, "Memory Stick" is what they call those little flat dohickies that you plug into your digital camera.I see them all the time in the stores, on the sales racks, and every one of them has "Flash Drive" plainly printed on the package.So is there really any argument about what to call them? I'd think NOT! B) Edited January 15, 2011 by Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I agree "USB flash drive" is probably the best option.But I think "USB pen drive", or even just "pendrive" has become vernacular already. My 2 ¢ only, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackturbokitty Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I ussually call the small USB mass storage device a thumb drive. Any hard drives that plug into a USB port is a USB hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
