DH Review: OCZ 512meg and 2GB USB2 Flash Drives (Dual Channel Technology)

Zardon · Sep 24, 2005, 08:03 PM

Flash Memory drives have increased in popularity over the last year and rightly so, they are immensely handy little gadgets giving you the power to transfer files from computer to computer by simple "plug and play" functionality . Originally however this ease of use was hampered by incredibly poor read, write and access times, making anything but the smallest of transfers a painfully slow experience.

OCZ have stepped into this sector with three high speed USB2 drives, a 512MB, a 1GB and a 2GB. Today we are going to be looking at the 512MB and the 2GB models.

Nice, a good improvement over the adverage USB / USB2 flash drives.
Maybe I'm being a little unfair but I find my self still wanting speed more
in line with todays run of the mill hard drives.

That would be ideal, and although its improved since the early days, thats still some way off.
