Introduction
I must admit that portable storage devices such as thumb drives don’t seem to be the most exciting things around. But when I was offered the opportunity to review the OCZ Rally thumb drive I decided to see if the claims of its speeds were really true. OCZ has been at the forefront when it comes to memory products, even if they are generally for system memory usage. They have taken this knowledge to the flash memory market with their Rally offering and added a twist, dual channel. Will this make the Rally any faster than the competition? Let’s find out…
About OCZ
Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and our commitment to the end-user has not digressed. OCZ Technology has been an innovator in many areas. We were the first manufacturer to make Dual Channel optimized memory available to the public, which originally took advantage of nVidia's Twinbank or Dual DDR architecture, found in their nForce chipset. We have now taken that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite Bay chipset's. OCZ developed and was the first to implement ULN technology, which has been a critical element in our manufacturing process for some time. We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chipset manufacturers prior to the release of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory's SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today’s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing process.
