In terms of performance, this drive is right at the top of its class. Boasting "leading edge Dual Channel technology", the Rally2 sends and receives files just as fast as any other stick available. When I ran the drive through HD Tune, it had an eerily steady data transfer rate of about 20MB/sec (they claim up to 28MB/sec read and 15MB/sec write). Unlike other drives where there are occasional dips in performance, this was about as steady as it comes. Better still, the access time was a very impressive 0.6ms. If you want fast, the OCZ Rally2 is definitely for you. According to the official product page, it "leaves the competitors in the dust." I'm inclined to agree.
