I've been using a 128GB USB 3 drive as my photo backup when I am on the road and it's worked out very well. Certainly better than a bigger hard drive.

Generally SanDisk has a very good reputation. I'd probably read reviews to see if whatever one I am planning to buy has any documented issues. When it comes to this sort of thing I usually start with Newegg.com or Amazon.
Yes, my computer has a USB 3 drive. No I'm still debating on whether to get a 16 or 32GB now What I usually do is start with the 16GB base price and if the 32GB amounts to 5 dollars or less than the 16, then the 32 it is.

I'm interested in the SanDisks as well and been looking around but the negative reviews like slow benchmark speed are off putting. And I was looking at the CZ80 but i'm not sure if its worth paying 24 bucks for a 32GB USB 3 flash drive.

Will purchase on amazon.
