As a media production student, I needed a flash drive with a lot of storage space to carry video files/transfer large files from one place to another; you won't need a 32GB USB stick if all you need is to store a few Word documents.
Has a lot of storage space in a small device; no freezing or corrupting files; nifty slide - gadget
Plugging into the USB port always brings up a promotions page for Sandisk; which is annoying
