Solid and small 32GB flash drive?

I'm in the market where I'm thinking about nabbing a flash drive for all my save games on my Xbox 360 Elite, but I want one along the lines of the Cruzer Fit where it's just super tiny and sits flush, so I can plug it in and not worry about snapping the damned thing off in the USB port when I move it.

 

Now, I looked through 11 pages on Newegg of 32GB flash drives, and literally every single one (in terms of the "micro" USB drives) had at least one review mentioning quick failure, and another mentioning running like the depths of hell (and failing). Seeing as this drive will see nearly 24/7 on-time with a pretty large amount of use, I need something SOLID. I am willing to pay a little more if it means rock solid stability.
