Really?

I wanted that 4gb 11 dollar stick until I saw that deal.
But 20 bucks for 4 gigs is good if it was a PNY XLR8 with a swivel cap and super read/write.
But you didn't get that...

It's the same one I have and it rocks!
The average price is 80 bucks. I bet you can't find one cheaper on the internet.

External drives are very

External drives are very cheap compared to flash drives. I bought a 320GB WD Passport for not a lot (can't remember how much exactly). The Passport is great because it has a lot of space, is pretty quiet, doesn't get hot, and, best of all, doesn't require a secondary power source.
If you don't mind having to use a power cord, I recently bought a 1 TB acomdata PureDrive for $170. It's very quiet and can use eSATA.
I got it at NewEgg.

That is great. I hate Hard Drives with that kind. I go into hustle of charging it and which means more wires and uses 2 usb for it to both charge and use.

The 1 TB acomdate PureDrive is a very good deal. $170 for 1TB it is a fine deal. Hope it is not very big and heavy.

If you need 2 usb slots, it's

If you need 2 usb slots, it's because the ports are limiting bus power. No external HD can overcome that without either requiring two ports or an external source (AC power).

The 1 TB acomdate PureDrive is a very good deal. $170 for 1TB it is a fine deal. Hope it is not very big and heavy.
I was very surprised how cheap large capacity drives had become myself. It is a little heavy, but not that big. More platters = more weight.

Is U3 better?

U3 means
-more applications
-more function(maybe)
-faster(is it?)
-more expensive

I never had a U3 enabled USB Flash Drive.

(Maybe 4 gigabyte is enough. 8 gb may be better. 32 gb sounds expensive.)

It is a very good deal.

This is a really good deal on a very nice durable flashdrive.
Some people seem not to like the case but I really like the rubbery texture of this one. Either way it's a great deal.
