The distinction is the two different USB devices. One is the USB Media Stick which is used for storing media files. This will NOT operate as a drive, which is the other kind - a USB Drive which will run portable softwares and launch and install ISO's (distros) - and again, you can NOT do that on a USB Media "Stick".
Do you have pictures of these USB Media "Sticks" as you call them? Googleing for that gives me all sorts of info on Thumb Drives, USB Sticks, and USB Keys, all of which are interchangeable terms these days. ...
I also googled for information and got very little beyond
the description of USB drives as being the usual "keychain"
form and suggesting a USB stick looked like an SD card
like you might use in a camera. That idea didn't sound to
be "for real" since I wouldn't use the term USB in that way.
I've heard of "Memroy Sticks" but that odd term tends to refer to things like the Sony MemorySick and MSPro form factor of memory card. Those are more akin to SD/SDHC type memory devices than USB storage devices.
That might account for the USB Stick idea I saw. Is the
USB stick a brand related concept?
In fact, I do not think i have EVER seen a USB storage device that fits the description you give of a "Media Stick".
I also draw a blank on this--I just took a short tour of
places that sell USB devices and all of the "keychain"
units I saw were described as drives except for one I'd
never heard of before. FWIW, I got a header on a
blank page for the HSTI URL.
