so /g/ what do you call it?

>>56204066
flash drive

Now that I think about it depends on what it's for


>bootable drive
for linux

>usb storage
if it's only meant to hold this

>"X" drive
if it's only meant to hold X for example the one that's been in my car for 5 years


also curious what everyone calls it based on region of the world, for example the pop/soda/"coke" for usa. midwest reporting, everyone says flash drive and very rarely USB drive. Have never heard pen drive, or thumb drive, except online.

X as in the X window system? Why would you pur that on a drive of its own? Or just like, music drive, movies drive, hentai drive, essays drive, etc.

I live in Canada and I call it a USB stick, I'd say that's the most common name for it but most people hesitate and don't give it a real name because there isn't really a well-accepted one that rolls off the tongue.

I saw it and I laughed for a solid 30 seconds. Holy shit I might start using it at work just to fuck with people.

This has to be a fucking meme.

Surely there are not people who call it anything but a USB drive.

>>56205469
>calling a USB drive
That's fucking retarded. A USB hard drive? A USB solid state drive? A USB optical drive? A USB tape drive? A USB flash drive? A USB floppy drive?

Calling it anything other than flash drive should be a punishable offense desu famsavage

Well, you don't call your car a Ford V8 four-tire gas-powered city red car, do you? You call it your car. You don't walk around Best Buy muttering to yourself "I need a USB optical drive", you think, "I need an external CD reader" or something like that.

If you go into Walmart and tell the fuckface high school dropout "I need a USB drive" you know what she'll get you?

A fucking USB flash drive zip disquette what ever.

A RETARD knows what a USB drive is. Your average idiot won't know what a "portable SSD disk" is, you fucking imbecile.

I can't stand people who call it something in the tiers lower than good.

USB line

>>56204066
Everyone here calls it either "USB" , or just "stick" so I call it that too because it's shorter than saying "flash drive" and everyone knows what you're talking about. However, when I text people on forum sites I write "flash drive".

Midwesterner confirming "flash drive" is the only term used here except for the rare "thumb/jump/usb drive."

I say zip disquette and they all look at me like I'm retarded.

>>56204066
Flash drive is the proper term for it. Usb is the port it uses.

>>56204066
sometimes flash drive, sometimes usb drive

Jump drive. Been calling it that for so long I don't even care anymore.
