POTD: Flash/USB/Jump/Thumb drives

[Samus Aran]

Inspired by a tectron post. 

What do you call these things? I've always called them flash drives but I have heard all of these names for them before, especially "jump drive." I think "flash drive" is the most common though.

i heard some old lady call them jump drives once and was like "what the fuck"

[don't let's]

Flash drives, Thumb drives, and Jump drives I probably use those terms about the same amount. Maybe Flash drives more often now though.

i tend to interchange between usb/flash/thumb but i think usb describes it best

[don't let's]

I think Jump drive was fairly common when they first came out

and Universal Serial Bus interfaced mass storage device with NAND flash-based memory.
