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.

Apparently, "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!

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.

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.
