Flash drive.
A flash drive has to be inserted in the USB port on the computer. Latest operating systems detect the flash drive and install the necessary drivers on their own. Once the device is detected, it can be used for storing the data. The device needs to be ejected from the computer. The system prompts you when it is safe to remove the flash drive. It can be physically ejected then. A flash drive consists of a PCB, a printed circuit board. It is covered in a plastic or rubber casing, making it sturdy. A USB connector that protrudes is covered with a removable cap. Most flash drives use type-A USB connection making it compatible with standard type-A receptacles. Hence they can be directly connected to a port on a computer. Flash drives implement the USB mass storage device class, thus do not require any additional device drivers. When a flash drive is plugged in to a computer, what is presented to it is a block-structured logical unit. This leads to an abstraction from the complex implementation details of the flash memory devices.
Une clé USB - I believe it's a Flash/Memory Drive. I found the following definition from Wiki.fr and translated it to English: • A USB drive (Une clé USB) is a removable storage medium that plugs into the Universal Serial Bus of a computer port.
A memory stick (more properly a 'flash drive' or a 'pen drive') is an external memory device which plugs into the USB socket on a computer and can be used to take files from one computer to another. Size is important only if you have very big files, you can buy 4 or 8 gigabyte flash drives for just a few pounds these days, and that's plenty unless you want to transfer several movies. A flash drive is not necessary for graphic design until you want to transfer the graphic files elsewhere, even so, you could e-mail the files if you don't have a flash drive.
