Lee. "Adding RAM Cache to our USB 3.0 Express Drive line-up raises the bar we have establish with our first three USB 3.0 products and reiterates our commitment and leadership in the USB 3.0 space."

Sounds a little pointless...

you think you have copied your data, Unplug and Bam - gotta start over
or wait as long as you would for a normal less expensive stick lol

Is plug copy and run with these things.

if it comes with a cache, i seriously hope it comes with at least a tiny battery that is capable of storing the 32meg of cache once unplugged. otherwise as Pailin say's, its more dangerous than useful.
