Brand: Kingston DataTraveler SE9
Size: 8/16 GB
Speed: USB 2.0, on the lower side.
Case Material: Metal
Quality: low
Compatibility: I've used it on Win7 and Ubuntu. I also created partitions in FAT32 and ext4, no problems.
Reliability: It's prone to have the inner chip fall out, so it's not reliable.
Price: ~10 USD

I'm posting because this drive looks really good: sleek, small, and easily can fit on your keychain. That's what sold me on it because I was looking for portability.

However, the opening to plug into your USB ports is too tight. You have to jam it in, and pull hard to get it back out. I know all USB interfaces can be a little snug at first, but this is beyond snug. After about 10 uses the chip inside fell out. I was inserting the drive only halfway because of concern over its tightness, but even with these measures, it didn't last.
