OCZ's Rally2 Turbo has kicked it up a notch for those looking to get performance and speed when transferring files.  There is no doubt that this is the fastest 8GB Flash Drive I have tested so far, with upto triple the speed differences compared with other brands USB sticks.  As demonstrated in the transfer rates did meet expectations and proved that OCZ stands for a terrific  provider of DDR memory.  The sleek black aluminum finish feels and look great making this a well rounded choice for the price point.  Add on top of that the limited lifetime warranty OCZ provides and this makes your choice for a USB drive a no brainer.
