OCZ Technology
might still be lurking in Sandisk's shadow among mainstream consumers, but with
fantastic thumb drives like the OCZ Rally2, they'll be flying into the forefront
in no time. Yes, I am quite happy with this USB drive, and I'll tell you why.
Specifications and Features
For the purposes of this review, we'll be talking about the 4GB OCZ Rally2 Flash

generalized to the rest of the Rally2 product line. Let's have a look at the

What's in the Box?
Well, I use the term "box" loosely, but you get what I mean. For the most part,
having extra accessories to accompany a flash drive seems like an act in
futility, but that didn't stop OCZ from throwing in a couple of extra goodies
that will hopefully set this drive apart from others with equivalent specs and
performance stats.
First, the basic cloth lanyard attaches to the Rally2 through a simple loop
mechanism. If you really want to get your geek on, then you can dangle this
flash drive from your neck. Second, OCZ has also included a USB extension cable.
This accessory can actually be quite useful, especially if you've got a desktop
tower that lacks any USB ports on the front. Simply make use of this cable and
make for a more accessible USB port yourself. Good stuff.
