Both use the same flash chips internally, however SSD's take a SATA/SATA2 connector and are plugged directly to the HDD controller on the inside of the comp. whereas flash drives/pen drives are plugged in via usb of which the usb bus is significantly slower than SATA (or even IDE for that matter).
SSD's are physically bigger than flash drives but can still be carried in your back pocket should you want to carry it around.
Slightly off topic, they do have 256GB flash drives out now, I'm currently thinking of getting 32GB flash drive because the price should lower to less than $50 US soon.
