I have a 256MB drive for schoolwork and never filled it up. It all depends on what you feel is necessary for school work. Did you fill it with photos and MP3 songs as well as homework and school papers? If so, 2GB may not be enough.
I would also suggest two flash drives instead of just one. You lose or damage that drive, and all your work is down the tubes. If you keep a second one up to date and in a safe place (at home next to your computer while the other is with you at school for example), then if you lose the first one, you don't lose all your work and saved items since school started!
If you can't afford it or don't get a second one for Christmas, then make sure you back up the contents on a regular basis. A spare copy of your data elsewhere is an insurance policy. You may never need it, but you will be oh so happy you have it when something bad happens.

Have a 2 Gig that I have not filled up in almost two years of usage. However, when deciding what to buy, compare prices. Sometimes a 4 gig will only run 25%-30% more than a 2 gig. That makes it a lot cheaper to get the 4 now, then to have to go back for a second 2 gig (or a 4 gig) a few months from now....

forty GB isn't adequate. i take advantage of living house windows XP (sp3) and that i've got an 80 GB stressful force. the finished length of my c: force is 14.5 GB. Now, I even have purely 4.35 GB unfastened area in my c: force. I purely set up my motherboard drivers (integrated video driving force, HD audio driving force) and a few mandatory application like MS place of work, Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, Kaspersky information superhighway secure practices etc. living house windows XP desires purely 8GB unfastened area. yet, i think of a stressful force with minimum a hundred and twenty GB unfastened area is adequate for living house windows XP.

Hey, it depends on your needs. If your are in video editing or carry alot of large files, it is enough. If you are just carrying small files, it is more than enough. Think of it this way. The smallest 1st generation iPod Nano contains 1 gigabyte of music. 2 GBs would be two of these iPods.

It depends on what you'll be putting on it. I have a 1 gig that's got mostly documents, and some music, and it's approaching full. If you have just documents, and little or no music, pictures, .jpgs, etc, you'll probably be fine for quite awhile.
If your classwork requires lots of graphics, sound or movie files, software, etc, you may want to go even bigger, or else get a pair of 2GB drives.

The only limit is their creativity. If they just put .docs and .xls on there, then 2GB is plenty. If they want to boot a sophisticated OS from it, then 2GB is pushing it a little bit. If they need large MR and CT datasets for research purposes, then no.

yes, unless you are a film student. documents and power points don't actually take up that much space, so you'll be fine

I think yes if you don't put Movies in it.
I only use a 512MB one and I have about half of the storage open.
