memory stick
Pocket data carrier
A memory stick is a small portable device for storing digital data, plugged into a computer's USB port: I saved the presentation on a memory stick.
The term originated as Sony's brand name for a specific format but now applies loosely to any USB flash drive.
Also called a thumb drive or flash drive.
