Memory stick that's inflexible? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ramrod

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'that's inflexible?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'memory stick' is the wordplay.
'memory' becomes 'ram' (Random Access Memory on a computer).
'stick' becomes 'rod' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ram'+'rod'='RAMROD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ramrod that I've seen before include "Cannoneer's tool" , "Gun cleaner, proverbially stiff and straight" , "Strict disciplinarian" , "Device for charging gun, proverbially stiff" , "It's used to push a charge into a firearm" .)
