The jump drive is a trademarked name for the flash drive (Lexar). They are the same thing.
Jump Drives are more often those oblong, pen devices with a pull off cap revealing a plug.
Here's a definition:
A jump drive - also known as a USB drive, flash drive, keychain drive, or disk-on-key - is a plug-and-play portable storage device that uses flash memory and is lightweight enough to attach to a key chain. A jump drive, which looks very much like an ordinary highlighter marker pen, can be used in place of a floppy disk, Zip drive disk, or CD.

Nope. Same thing. Jump Drive/ Flash Drive are just common names for the same thing.

Never heard of a 'jump' drive. But Googling suggests it's the same as a pen drive/flash drive/etc... oblong-ish, with a pull off cap revealing a USB plug
