USB flash drive Explanation: That is, marginally, the most common result on Google. USB stick is also very common, and also acceptable, but a little less formal. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2013-01-07 14:24:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- USB flash drive is the most technically correct and will come across the most professional. IMHO, you could be a little more creative and call it a USB presentation stick... but we'd need to see the source to see what would fit. If the USB is read-only and autoruns a presenting application, it might work well. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2013-01-07 14:31:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Incidentally, Wikipedia has also gone with USB flash drive as the preferred term, likely for the same reasons as me - it's more technically accurate. Clicking on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_stick will redirect you to the "USB flash drive" page. |
