NO, becasue it's original name is flash drive or USB flash drive. As we connect flash drive to the USB port of a PC or laptop, it flash its content (files and folders) instantly. That is the reason it is called USB FLASH DRIVE.As far as name PEN DRIVE is concern, USB Flash drive came in different shapes and one of the shape is PEN. That's why some people specially people coming from Indian region call it PEN drive. Same like they call Photocopier as Xerox machine (as well know that XEROX is the name of the company only)..Ans:A USB flash drive or simply flash drive is a type of removable storage medium.The flash drive comes in various shapes and sizes (both bulkyandsmall) like watches,wrist bands, ikura sushi,swiss knives etc.Some USB flash drives had shapes like pen which were very popular and thus people remember these drives as pen drives rather than USB flash drives.A pen drive is a popular name not the official name of this storage medium.
