Customer Review: High performance, low price!
Summary: 4 Stars
OCZ RALLY 2 4GB High Performance Dual Channel Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable).
I use the OCZ Rally 2 4GB flash drive in a XP Pro/Home/MCE/Vista environment. I ran the Rally 2 through several test cycles with Check Flash Version 1.03 to both determine its mean write/read speeds via USB 2.0 and to see if there were any problems. Its write speed is about 7-11 MB/s and the read speed is around 18-22 MB/s. I had been previously using a generic 2GB USB 2.0 flash drive made by GFM (purchased from Meijer) which appears to be the same generic flash drive sold at K-Mart and Target. This generic GFM drive exhibited write/read speeds of up to 2 MB/s. The Rally 2 simply runs circles around it!
The Rally 2 is very thin and small. It is made out of plastic but has an aluminum shell on the main body and on the cap. The cap feels extremely loose since it does not grip the USB socket very well. The lanyard is made of high quality nylon and has OCZ's silk screen printing all over it which makes it look attractive (to computer geeks at least). The amber LED indicator is extremely bright.
After running test cycles for 30 minutes, the Rally 2 never went above 100*F (based on an IR thermometer reading) in an 80F ambient temperature.
I also compared the Rally2 performance with Patriot's XT Xporter 4GB. Both drives were formatted in FAT32 (to avoid losing a huge chunk of space to NTFS) and the speeds were comparable. The "200x" Xporter XT yielded 22.5 +/- 1 MB/s sequential read and 8.4 +/- 0.5 MB/s sequential write in Crystal Mark (100MB). In the same tests, the Rally2 exhibited figures of 22.7 MB/s read and 7.862 MB/s write. We're not talking about a huge difference here.
Pros: Fast performance, initial quality check shows no errors, very sleek and small design/profile.
Cons: The cap is too loose and would appear easy to lose. The LED is also very bright, and the drive is too long. I can't use it in my car because the USB port is in the center of the dash, and the long Rally2 sticks out. There's a good chance I can hit it and break the USB port.
Overall: Great bang for the buck - very fast performance at a very low price. USB drives appear they will continue to fall in price, but OCZ is a step above the rest offering quality high speed memory.
