Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of OCZ Rally2 Dual Channel 16 GB Flash USB 2.0 Flash Drive OCZUSBR2DC-16GB
Customer Review: Tiny, fast and durable...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the fastest USB drives I've ever owned. But what's really important to me is the size. There are other drives out there that perform slightly faster than this one but they are all fat and bulky and hard to use with adjacent usb ports. This is the slimmest USB drive I've seen, yet its still amazingly fast and durable. It's not infinitely durable - mine finally died after 9 months of heavy use, but that's still nearly a record for me because it represents about 100 drops onto concrete and a few runs through the clothes washer along with some serious freezing weather. :)
If it's any consolation, once mine died I did a hard search of all possible alternatives, and ended getting the exact same one again, mostly because no other high speed drives have this slim form factor. The 64GB supposedly has faster write speeds, but Amazon doesn't seem to carry it at this time.
UPDATE: I just got my replacement, and it's the one with the newer controller chip and the blue light (vs the old orange light.) I basically use my drive as a floppy disk, and I found this new controller results in faster reads but much slower writes. I do a representative test by reading and writing a single, 8GB file: (this is on a 17" MBP)
Write speed - 13.60 MB/second (9 minutes, 19 seconds)
Read speed - 30.53 MB/second (4 minutes, 9 seconds)
Avg (read+write)/2 = 22 MB/second (13 minutes, 28 seconds)
The read speed is incredible - about as fast as a USB 2.0 external hard drive, but the write speed is slow enough that on average, this drive is a bit slower than my old one. The new controller might explain why we're seeing more performance drives now with very slow write speeds.
The slower write speed is disappointing, but I'm still over all pretty happy with it - it's still among the higher performing drives out there.
