Hardware Secrets posted a massive USB Flash Drive Roundup - they tested ATP ToughDrive 1 GB, Corsair Flash Readout 1 GB, Corsair Flash Voyager 512 MB, Geil David 100 256 MB, Kingmax Super Stick 256 MB, Kingston DataTraveller 2.0 512 MB, Kingston DataTaveller Elite 2 GB, Kingston DataTraveller U3 Smart 1 GB, MSI Mega Flash 128 MB, OCZ Rally 512 MB, OCZ Rally 2 GB, OCZ Roadster 1 GB and Patriot Xporter XT 2 GB.

ATP simply created the fastest USB flash drive in the market today, which is amazing coming from a company with no reputation on the flash USB retail market. Probably this roundup will help ATP to become better known.

Patriot's Xporter XT is also a terrific product, achieving the same reading performance as Geil's David 100 but beating Geil's product on writing speed.

So we are giving our 'Golden Award' seal to ATP ToughDrive 1 GB and to Patriot Xporter XT 2 GB and we will keep our seal to Geil David 100 256 MB, as these are the three fastest USB flash drives around today. If we were looking for the fastest USB drive around, our choice would be among these three products. OCZ Rally was the fastest USB flash drive for a while, but it is time now to OCZ to launch a fastest product. We wouldn't buy a Rally drive today.
