SD or Thumbdrive?

[Sly]

I was cleaning up my bag when my usb thumbdrive fell out. Funny part is i didn't miss it, in fact, i couldn't remember the last time i used it. Between the camera, cellphone, laptops, car stereo, MP4 media player, we've only used SD/microSD cards for well over half a year.

Which one have you guys been using more lately? I'm starting to think that SD cards are the true replacement for the MicroFloppy.

I use my USB thumbdrive everyday for both work and personal use. I have a microSD in my phone, but that's it. My camera is Sony, so it unfortunately uses MSDuo. My next camera will definitely use SD though.

my "thumb drive" is the SD card in my phone. I plug my phone into the computer via USB and it acts as a USB drive. I'm not sure it's fair to vote for SD as I'm not taking the card out and plugging it into different devices. If I could not use my phone as a usb drive - my thumb drive would get more love.

if i need to transport data i use one of the MANY SD cards i have for my camera.
SD cards aren't "limited" in the same way as a thumb drive

i.e., i can use an SD card to transport data, whereas I can't use a thumbdrive in my camera

I use both on a regular basis.

I use SD in my car, camera, phone, etc
But i use my thumbdrive for work everyday...I couldnt do with out it.

thumbdrive for any files that'll fit.

both my camcorders are hard drive based, and my current still camera is CF. The next camera will be whatever's popular at that time.

All PCs have USB ports. Nowhere near as many have SD card slots.

I use my 8GB Voyager flash drive at work every day for moving files between PCs (I always get kicked off whatever machine I'm using being the placement student...) and music etc. The only time I use my 2B SD card is for my Wii Homebrew Channel.
