Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English

Editor: We use US English, especially US terms that are understood in other countries, wherever possible.

"data stick" seems to be more of a UK term, as your reference suggests.

As an Australian, I'm not familiar with it, and one American says:
"I never heard of a data stick before and I have worked in IT for several high tech companies for 20 years. My Google search shows that a data stick is another name for a USB flash thumb drive."
