OCZ 2GB Rally USB 2.0 Flash Drive Review

OCZ is all about top performance, and who can blame the company for focusing on what enthusiasts want? When OCZ's performance-obsessed product managers decided to enter the crowded USB flash drive market, they decided that they wanted the performance crown. Forget about fancy utilities and extra bells and whistles; they wanted top performance, plain and simple.

In order to achieve this goal, OCZ decided to implement what it calls "leading edge Dual Channel technology." Obviously, OCZ wants to take advantage of our knowledge and love of dual channel memory to make us believe in the speed of its USB 2.0 Rally Flash Drive. In this review, I'll find the truth behind all the claims and see if OCZ really does deliver a flash drive that blows away the competition.
