Hi-speed USB2 Flash Drive Round-Up

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-hid-it-in-my-space-cavity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ars Technica has a USB 2.0 Flash drive review featuring 8 drives from different manufacturers. What's so interesting about the review is that not all Flash drives are created equal. Some have very unique features while some are clearly better than others. They also took a detailed look inside one of the drives as well as put two drives in a RAID-0 array (a la Mac OS X). Now that's cool!"

    That's to be expected, after all, to raid other villages by sea you have to be pretty durable. Still, I'm impressed you were able to cram him into the washer and dryer.

    I believe it's rot-26 encryption. I've heard that the next model will support rot-52, but they're not for export.
