Flash drives have come a long way. from 16mb all the way to 32GB! Yes you hear me right, 32 GIGABYTE of storage. Back in the days, we use to have 20-40GB hard drives, in fact that was still very recent, around late 90's to early 2000. The smallest hard drive you can buy nowadays are 80gigs already and to tell you frankly I think, 64-120GB flash drives are already in place but not yet released.

Flash drives are also very common tools for IT people. Its the easiest and most convenient way to backup, copy or share date from one PC to another.

With the need for flash drives growing here in the Philippines, the increase of "Fake" flash drives grow along with it. If someone asks me where to buy a good flash drive, I always recommend to buy from Legit Sources. I know of a couple of shops here that sell fake ones and most people who get from them usually get stung. But somehow, the lack of education regarding these products just let these people get robbed of their hard earned money. What's even worse is, either, they accidentally buy a fake, or they intentionally buy an original one with an unknown brand.

It's really a matter of how precious your data is. If you are going to be storing very important files and backing up precious data, then I recommend you get flash drives of the Highest Quality.

Now, one of the leading Brands of Memory Manufacturers in the world, OCZ Technology has sent us a sample product to review. Since my time is kinda short now because I have to leave for the hospital in awhile now to visit my mom, I will leave you first with some pics and specs of this amazing device. I have used it for about a few weeks now, for 32 GB, it is very fast! Not only is it fast, its WATER and DEBRIS RESISTAND and SHOCK PROOF as well! Definitely built for the great outdoors!!
