I'm guessing many people will just call it "flash drive", but over here people call them "unidad(es) flash". I'm sure someone at the RAE is already thinking about a way to brutalize "flash" and make it sound Spanish, like they did with CD-ROM > "cederrón", or whiskey > güisqui.

I'm actually surprised at Heidita's answer being that she's from Spain. Well..then again, maybe it's just something that I hear here in Andalucia:

They just say 'Pen Drive' pronouncing it in a spanish way of course.
