After using my PNY Attaché 8GB USB 2.0 flash drive for almost three years, I finally decided I couldn't deal with slow running portable applications.  I usually run Trillian Astra Pro (for IM), Mozilla Thunderbird (for emails), RoboForms2Go (to have all my passwords and form data to go) and many other application from my USB drives, but I just needed them to load and run faster.

So I looked around for the fasted available USB flash drives and I ran across very few drives and one of the best I found was this OCZ Rally2 Turbo 8GB flash drive.  I was trying to find the fastest drive with at least 8 GB of storage capacity and also one that is compact.  This drive does not disappoint at all.  I found the best deal at Amazon.com but the seller was Tigerdirect.com.  So for a $100 plus free shipping, I couldn't ask for more.
