USB flash disk/USB pen drive

[diamondcutter]

Hi there,

For “USB flash disk” and “USB pen drive”, I’d like to know which one is more common or if they’re equally used. In Chinese, it is called “U disk”.

In the UK, we don't generally bother with the "USB" part. It's just a pen drive or a flash drive.

You'll also hear "USB stick". Note that "U disk" is not used by native speakers.

You'll also hear them called 'thumb drives'.
