What do I do with my 30GB SSD?

Realist Peter Pan

I have an old SSD lying around, and idk what I should do with it. Should I incorporate it into my next computer? It isn't even big enough for a windows OS, so should I sell it, or keep it for some other random ass purpose. I'm taking anything from off the wall here. :\

 

Corsair Cache drive 30 GB Accelerator

 

 

Edit: Thank you ALL, I appreciate all the ideas you have given me. I haven't encountered a community so astounding before.

Use it for caching? For swap file?

Or even as an OS drive in some small media pc or in a NAS?
