It's the thing that you can put on key chains that holds half a gig to a gig of memory. I've been trying to find the least technical, most commonly used translation of this word. A commonly used slang word would be great, especially if it occurs in Russian print media. thank you.

флэшка
Но это разговорное, в печати встретите едва ли.

А в печати, пожалуй, флэш-диск. Но это в компьютерных изданиях. А в универсальных СМИ просто само понятие как-то не встречается.

I would call it a USB-флэш-диск
флэшка is good, but definitely unfit for print as this is slang - you would (probably) not call a car "wheels" in a US publication? Idea's the same.
just call it a USB flash disk... or a USB-флэш-диск по-русски!
Cheers,
