I ran with one in my MacBook Air for a few months, but I noticed that if I used it for more than a few seconds of file IO (e.g. copying one large file to it for a couple minutes, or trying to run some application off it), it would slow down considerably... and in those cases if I unmounted it and pulled it out, it was hot enough to cause discomfort! In the video, I cover how it's a nice, cheap drive, but it's basically trading off a lot of performance for that tiny size!
