That's a lot of data to loose when you misplace it.

I had an 8gb one of these die after about a year of heavy use... I got a 16gb one and it's been fine so far... I like the small size and it's very durable (can take being on a key-chain well).. I would back it up though.. just to be safe. 32gb of stuff is a lot to loose if it dies you or just misplace it.

The pico line are far more durable than microsd cards. it won't break or crack for just being in your pants pockets mixed with keys. Not to mention it is waterproof. There is also no 32 GB MicroSD card at this price range.
I have 3 of the earlier models with lower capacity, 8 and 16GB. The 16 GB was defective when delivered, but got it replaced promptly by RMA. The other two has worked for over a year without any problems. The only draw back is the fit is kind of tight, so it requires a bit more force when inserting and pulling it out of USB slots. The cheap keychain that comes with it will eventually break from normal pull force. I replaced it with a stronger key ring.

If you are not in a hurry to receive it.... Check ebay first for better prices. (from Hong Kong)

If you don't care about the size, the OCZ Rally 32GB model is $32 after rebate from time to time on Bens, and it's also made of metal, slim, and very fast.

I bought a 3 pack of 8GB's a little over a year ago,
I have one on a keychain and it has worked fine for over a year,
another I had stopped working, but I returned it with RMA and got one replaced promptly,
the 3rd one has never been used and its still in the package
Its great for backing up documents, but files over 4GB's dont seem to fit or have to be chopped up in order to be transferred onto the cards.
I cant say much for this version though.

please think about this, do you REALLY NEED to carry 32GB in your pocket? why? this is a connected world, you don't need to carry your data!

Price per GB still too high on the 32GB models, as small as these are you may be better off getting 2 x 16GB.
#11, you need to format it to NTFS or another filesystem your target OS recognizes, the 4GB limit is only due to original FAT32 formatting. Unfortunately, many motherboards can't recognize it as bootable in these other filesystem formats so if that is important you might experiment with whether a small first partition can be FAT32, loading an NTFS driver to mount the rest if you need access to the rest from a boot-time environment.
This isn't a "connected world" #12, this is a world where gigabytes of data go poof because you trusted too few points of data redundancy. Carrying your data with you, encrypted well, is a great idea as yet another source of backup. Doesn't replace any other, nor does any other this, but with no other at 20X the size do you have tens of MB/s access speed. Access speed means little when it's a webpage or word doc, but a lot when it's 32GB.

#10 I don't think so. A quick scroll through the USB Drives section on here doesn't even show any OCZ 32GB drive. 8GB Diesel here and there, but no 32GB. Sorry.

10-12 gigs is the perfect amount of data to be stored on USB storage. Anything bigger than that is way too much, losing it is a issue - plus external hard drives are more practical for larger data.

I would hate to haul that thing around. Why can't they make it smaller?!
