Flahs drives hold data themselves... and can only write to themselves. I'm assuming your pen is a type of flash drive... "JumpDrive" redirects here. For the science-fiction concept of travel, see Jump drive.
Here is a general explanation of flash drives form Wikipedia...
USB flash drives are NAND-type flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB interface. They are typically small, lightweight, removable and rewritable. Memory capacity typically ranges from 8 megabytes up to 64 gigabytes [1], limited only by current flash memory densities. As capacity increases, so does price, to a point. As of 2006, more recent examples in the 1 to 4 GB range are little more expensive than the 128 MB versions available in 2002.
There are versions which use FireWire as well, but since the IEEE1394 standard is not as ubiquitous as USB, these are less common.
USB flash drives have several advantages over other portable storage devices, particularly the floppy disk. They are generally faster, hold more data, and are considered more reliable (due to their lack of moving parts) than floppy disks. These types of drives use the USB mass storage standard, supported natively by modern operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows XP.
A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board encased in a robust plastic or metal casing, making the drive sturdy enough to be carried about in a pocket, as a keyfob, or on a lanyard. Only the USB connector protrudes from this protection, and is usually covered by a removable cap. Most flash drives use a standard type-A USB connection allowing them to be connected directly to a port on a personal computer.
Most flash drives are active only when powered by a USB computer connection, and require no other external power source or battery power source; they are powered using the limited supply afforded by the USB connection. To access the data stored in a flash drive, the flash drive must be connected to a computer, either by direct connection to the computer's USB port or via a USB hub.
...With this type of drive, you'd have no need for an MMC or SD card. If you have an MMC or SD card that needs read, what you need is a card reader.
You can find many types of card readers & flash drives at the following sites:

USB smart drive is a USB flash drive with additional capabilities, typically software, that enable it to run active programs from the drive, from encryption technology to personalized Web browsers to Instant Messaging services. Users can purchase USB smart drives, or download software from the Internet that enables existing flash drives to be upgraded to "smart" drives
n yea flash drive reads it more easily!

ok pen force and thumb force or jet flash are each and every of a similar appropriate element.... it only has diverse strategies of being named. the essential distinction is a flash force that's in many cases storage used for instruments like a digicam or a psp.
