OCZ RALLY2 2GB High Performance 2GB Dual Channel Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model OCZUSBR2DC-2GB

Pros: Very fast transfer rates. Roughly 2x actual transfer rates vs. my newegg (brand) 8gb stick.

Cons: LED light runs very very bright.

Pros: bought this drive in 9/06 and it worked until 12/07, checked with OCZ and the drive has a lifetime warranty, not the year it says on newegg. OCZ is setting up replacement for me as i type this

Cons: OCZ only offers a replacement where you have to ship yours first and wait for replacement after they get it (not that big of a deal)

Other Thoughts: OCZ stands behind their products and answers their phone when you call.

Pros: I was looking for a new Jump to replace the one that got eaten by the vaccuum. This is very fast, very stable, and very strong. Fairly durable. I use it in my car for USB input on my CD player, F getting an iPod.

Cons: the light is on the bright side (night driving) but NONE.

Other Thoughts: you can NOT beat this for the price.

Pros: Lasted me forever! Best flash drive I have ever owned!

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Very nice price for such a good flash drive!

Pros: I've had no difficulties with this thumb. It's faster than other drives I've had in the past, and appears to be durably constructed.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I can't say how this drive will hold up in the long run, but it's perfect thusfar.

Pros: Faster access time then I expected to get. Great company reputation.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I use mine multiple times a day for transfers of a few bytes to a couple gigs. It has been reliable for nearly a year with out a hiccup.

Pros: First off, this is a great product by a great company.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I had a customer with the same problem as Boxen Rancher's friend... plug a device into the USB port, and the computer would restart until it was removed... it turned out the problem was caused by faulty capacitors... which tracks, since capacitors regulate power to the M/B, if faulty, a device connected to the USB port drawing power suddenly will cause it to overload an already faulty system.

Pros: FAST

Cons: dies frequently. I have owned 3 of these and my friend has owned 2. All 5 have died. The most recent died completely, no orange light, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

I owned one of the 1st generation with the blue light and it is still going strong, 2 years old. What happened to OCZ quality???

Other Thoughts: And OCZ can't come in with an excuse on this one, I am Religous about "safely removing" the drive every time before I pull it out. This last one only lasted a month. I only got to use it about 15 times. It sat in my padded laptop bag when not in use. **Disappointed** You guys lost an avid customer. It's no longer worth the price of shipping to replace it.
