I would need more context. A flash drive is usually smaller and a usb drive is bigger

@isno70 Thank you!
I didn't know about that difference because we use the same general term in Russian -- * флешка
Is the difference in their memory size?
Or just their physical size?

Оба они по сути flash drive, для хранения данных они используют технологию flash memory.
Конечное название зависит от того, в каком виде выполнено устройство. Если оно подключается по usb, то называется usb flash drive (или просто usb drive), если выполнено в виде карты памяти, то это SD card. Но всё это так или иначе flash drive.
Предположу, что под flash drive имеют в виду всё, что без usb (а это в основном карты памяти, которые в телефонах используют), поэтому вам ответили, что usb drive обычно больше по размеру.
