Fuel Your Digital LifestyleSmaller than a common key, the OCZ OCZUSBDSL16G is an ideal flash drive for carrying data around.
Pros: Very small, smoking fast transfer rate, high capacity, bright red activity LED let's you know it's working without watching the screen, incredible price!
Cons: Smoking hot (literally)!!! Will almost burn your fingers if you touch it during or after transferring a lot of data. Transferred 1.3 GB (one file), and it was too hot to touch afterward. Cools down after inactivity though, even while plugged in.
Overall Review: Hands down the best USB thumb drive I've ever seen (to date) if you consider the capacity, price, transfer rate, and design. Not sure which is better, the incredible price, especially with the current rebate, or the phenomenal transfer rate. This thing blows away every other thumb drive I've owned or seen, and it's currently by far the cheapest per GB. When the 64GB version comes down a bit in price I'll be picking one of those up for sure. Did a read/write test on it using a single file. Wrote 1.36GB of data to the thumb drive in 2 min., 15 seconds. Read 1.36GB of data from the thumb drive to HD in exactly 1 minute. The flash drive is always the bottleneck, but this was on a Sony Vaio laptop, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM (virtual memory enabled), and most importantly a 320GB, 7200 RPM SATA drive with 16MB cache. Can't speak to the longevity of this drive yet, but it gets 5 glowing eggs in every category I've tested so far. I'd recommend this drive to anybody!!!
