Blazing Dual Channel Thumb Drive

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the my-keychain-is-going-to-go-on-strike dept.

Anonomisk Howard writes "The speed results from Big Bruin's review of OCZ's latest flash drive have me lusting for a new thumb drive. From the review: 'The OCZ Rally drive is not a radical new design, it does not look significantly different than any other USB 2.0 drive on the market, but then you plug it in and begin to use it. This thing smokes! The transfer times shown in the charts are what this drive is all about. If you want the fastest, sleekest, and most extreme drive currently on the market, this is the one to get.'"

    if every thumb drive was 1cm square, you would lose within a week. the drives right now are just the right size to slip in a pocket or on a key ring, if they were any smaller they'd just be impractical.

  2. How much? by ArchieBunker · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How much do advertisements like this cost? Sure could use some publicity like this for my business. That summary sounds like it was pasted from some webstore. The most extreme thumbdrive? Please.

  3. 17MB/sec != "blazing speed" by kilgortrout · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think it's really stretching things to refer to anything that writes at 17MB/sec as having "blazing speed". Sure it's faster than most thumb drives but that's like bragging about being the world's tallest midget.
