     To avoid this kind of senseless non-discussions, I tend to call things   
   as they are normally called, not by their technology. AFAIC, using the   
   term "flash card"/"flash media" is outdated and ambiguous terminology.   
      
     So SSD, (Micro)SD-card, USB memory-stick (not just USB stick, as there   
   are other type of USB sticks), etc.. If needed, add the capacity or/and   
   subtype (i.e. SD, SDHC, SDXC, SDUC). 'Problem' solved.
