Explanation:
Wenjer Leuschel 和 chineselaw 都对。只是台湾的随身碟似乎是容量较小的便携式USB设备，所以大陆叫U盘“ U disc ”，或者叫闪存"(USB)flsh drive"，而不是移动硬盘的可能性大。

所以“隨身碟”除了上面两种说法，译成“U disc ”，"(USB)flash drive” 也可以。

Example sentence(s):
  • To connect USB devices, such as U-disc or digital camera.......
  • IBM was the first North American seller of a USB flash drive, and marketed an 8 MB version of the product in 2001 ...
