Creative use for a 30GB portable USB SSD stick?

It's an mSATA SSD that I've been using as the boot drive in my 10-year-old laptop running Ubuntu. Recently I got my hands on a 256GB SATA SSD for upgrade and a USB enclosure for the old drive.

I'm not sure what I can use it for since I already have two 64GB USB thumb drives that only get used sporadically. The best I could come up with is to make it into a portable Linux boot drive for my Windows PC, but given the size was already struggling with my laptop, I don't think it would work too well with a full-on desktop computer. Any thoughts?

Tails! Maybe try the paranoid side. You can use it on any computer, it will leave no evidence behind.

Do you already have a backup drive if not use it for that

You could use it as a boot drive for a server or something.
