I could try to get one of those now and be ahead of technology, though I wonder, How many Colleges/universities, non-computer savvy friends, etc. have already a laptop / desktop with USB 3.0. And I rather see benchmarks first that prove the boost of USB 2.0 before spending >129 dollars on an USB...Still capacity is pretty impresive.
Not much cheaper than a decent SSD (heck, you might even be able to find a SSD cheaper than the 64GB version)... Yeah, they're thumb drives and portable, but I'd rather upgrade my system's "speed" with a SSD, rather than a thumb drive using ready boost.

EXACTLY! 4 gigs of DDR3 memory is going for $100 on Newegg. Besides, do you need anymore than 4-6 gigs of memory at this point?
Looks pretty classy. My only reservation is the fact that 2 out of the 3 supertalent products I have owned failed rather quickly... They don't get my vote for reliability/quality
Please test this, along with others like it (i.e. A-DATA AN005-16G-CGY). I'm about to build a killer machine with two SSDs in RAID 0 and this would seem to be ideal for a ReadyBoost drive.

cant use a usb drive for ready boost if you are using ssd's
