One recent review mentions using it for a portable Linux install. 4 Eggs after 7 reviews, no complaints about reliability. Some complaints that it is "slow", 10MB/sec writes, and 35MB/sec reads. (Haven't personally verified yet.)

But it's under $20 for 256GB of flash storage, could $20 256GB SSDs be far behind?

Edit: Now $22.99, still not a horrible price for a 256GB Flash drive. (Try pricing 256GB Flash drives at Staples.com. No thanks!)
