but its great if you need to travel extremely light for long periods of time but cant or dont want to take a 2.5" portable HDD.

unless your some pro geek or a 50/50y.o thats been in uni since you were 18 theres no way to fill 32Gb full of word documents, PDFs, spreadsheets & excel charts etc etc. unless you use it not for netbooks but as portable storage for your CAD files and 3d animation projects/files etc etc
I'd use it just like any other USB Flash drive, that's what it is after all. I personally won't buy a flash drive under 16GB, and usually carry a 32GB around with me. People like me will buy the larger one, and normal users will buy the smaller ones. Its nice to have something this small with that much storage space. It might not be needed for normal usage, but every once in a while I do use almost all of my 32GB drive.

Every flash drive I own gets 3.5GB of software tools instantly loaded on it.
