Flash Cards and Flash Drives

[greatman05]

Do flash cards and flash drives use the same technology? If so, would a utility designed for flash cards work on flash drives and vice-versa?

Yes, they use the same flash chips for storage. As for the utility.. It depends on what you want to do.

On application level a drive is a drive is a drive and there is no difference between working with a hard drive, a flash drive, a memory card, a zip drive, whatever.

yes- they are more or less the same.
I have a PCMCIA card that uses SD cards (used in cameras) like a hard drive.

Makes it VERY easy to transfer photos.
