Are there any feature or function differences between a flash card and a flash drive?

This is for use with a PC, in case it matters.





My PC can accomodate both (I have both card slot and USB) - so my question is which one is better to use, and why?





(I did ask this once already but got just one answer, factual but not informative.)

The flash drive is an all-in-one "stand alone" device, the flash card is not. Meaning, the flash drive can easily be used from one computer to another without a peripheral/external device.





The flash card can be used for more than platform storage %26amp; transfer. It can be used in digital cameras and tapeless digital camcorders, as well as with the new gaming systems.
