think i'd prefer to stuff a 2.5" SSD in instead.

So that costs you at least 2 and most probably 3 sata slots instead of 1? No thanks I'll take one of those higher capacity higher performance 2.5" models.

good for the random sata ports that can be scattered all over mobo's.

It's not that bad, I mean if the price is right (and I'm thinking USB stick + small premium for SATA price) you can get 2-4 of these and build a RAID0 array for 32-64GB of data...

Excellent idea tbh.

U could massage the direct port connection with a port extension.

I'd reserve judgement on the market effectiveness until the price comes out.

Theoretically I'd expect a USB pen drive price. esata controllers are cheap enough. But being as it's new and gimmicky, u could add £50 on top of that for no real reason.
