The Verbatim Store 'n' Go U3 is a Smart Drive with the U3 Launchpad included on the memory stick. The addition of the software and improved performance cost the end user around $10 USD more, when compared to the basic Store 'n' Go 4 GB variant available. We benchmark the Verbatim U3 Smart Drive and let you know if the performance and software are worth the small price premium.

In the conclusion you mentioned. It being "big by today's standards" as being a drawback, I would think its size would be a plus. Or are you referring to its physical size and not its storage capacity?
