>>51869197
I would add "usb"
That's actually a Pen Drive.
>>51869197
Assuming that's a flash drive (to be honest, it could be literally any USB peripheral), then the only sensible name is "flash drive", or I guess in its fullest form, "USB flash memory drive". Anything else is a normie corruption of the correct term.

That's a Logitech Dongle.

Data stick
>>51869220
That's so wrong that it doesn't even belong on the poll. It's on the same level as referring to the entire computer as "the cpu"
>>51869230
I think you mean Pen Stick
What about combos like "USB flash drive"
I call it a flash drive. People who call it a thumb drive, pen drive, USB stick, and memory stick should be shot
Storage dongle
>>51869197
TechTV guys called it USB dongle.
Given that there are no other labels on the device it may potentially be a wireless point for wifi, bluetooth, or other wireless device besides a storage device.
Fuck comcast.

It's called Pen Drive
I just call it "USB". It's short and everyone knows what I'm referring to, whether it's technically correct or not.

it's like saying you have something "on blu-ray"
>this faggot flips out and says "no you don't, you have it on a disc"
sorry dude but you're wrong
A NAND storage device?
How the fuck is flash drive winning?
USB drive is the only correct name for it, and OP was too much of a stupid faggot to include that choice.
I usually go with usb flash drive or usb stick.
Is either of them wrong?
>>51870151
A blu-ray is a type of disk. USB is an interface.
>this faggot flips out and says "no you don't, you have it on optical laser media"
Why do baby boomers always call it a "jump drive"?
>>51870226
>A blu-ray is a type of disk
a blu-ray is a type of laser
that's the point

I usually go with flash drive or USB drive. Sometimes if I'm talking to a normie, I just use USB, but I seriously don't get the other names that at least don't have USB in them.
>>51869631
But it's a stick with some flash memory on it. Hence memory stick
It always bugged me when people simply call it a USB.
I usually go with flash drive or thumb drive.

usb stick
It is both a usb drive and a flash drive.
Usb drive because its a drive that is accessed via usb.
Doesn't need to be a flash drive to be a usb drive.
It can be one of those mini usb disks with spinning plates inside.
Flash drive because its a drive that is using flash technology.
Doesn't need to be connected via usb though.
It can be connected via sata and still be a flash drive.
Who the fucks votes for jump stick though?
>>51870543
>zip disquette
What's this called then?
>>51876809
ultimately i'd prefer "usb flash drive", or ufd, but hardly anyone recognises the term "ufd", and "usb flash drive" is needlessly specific in casual speech
>>51876823
A zip disk, duh.
usb stick.
>>51876825
>>51876809
also,
>Flash drive because its a drive that is using flash technology.
>Doesn't need to be connected via usb though.
>It can be connected via sata and still be a flash drive.
this is why i tend to instead use "flash drive"
i mean, i use "printer" instead of "usb printer", and "hard drive" instead of "sata hard drive", so flash drive should also be fine if the connection type isn't needed in the specific context
>>51869220
when did this become a thing? it's disgusting
out of all the shitty names for these devices, you choose something that doesn't even try to descibe it
>>51876875
About at the same time when "PC" was equated to "Windows+Intel Personal Computer".
>>51869560
>referring to the entire computer as "the cpu"
Well the entire computer is a Unit that is Central to Processing. Calling the whole case, motherboard etc... "CPU" is fine with me.
jump stick is pretty good desu senpai
I call it "External Memory"
