Is OCZ USB flash drive the only brand which has dual channel capability?

Does Patriot have dual channel USB flash drive?

Dual Channel Flash Drive isn't what you're thinking of right now :D

Just like the Dual Channel 'tech' on our "RAM" ( actually the memory controller ), but on the flash drive.

All the "fast" USB Flash Drives are utilizing Dual Channel technology ;)

are you sure? OCZ does claim its USB flash drive use dual channel but other manufacturers don't make official claim on their products. The test results from Tomshardware indicate OCZ does run faster than other brand.

Could OCZ claim be true?

OCZ, Corsair and Supertalent are the only ones i know of right now. Ive got a 4GB supertalent one myself but the OCZ looks pretty funky in bright yellow

OCZ 4GB USB drive is very expensive compare to patriot drive at same capacity.

How much did you pay for your OCZ USB flash drive?

You're comparing the wrong models...

Take a better look:

Corsair Survivor GT 8GB
OCZ ATV Turbo 8GB

And...the "normal" speed category:

Corsair Survivor 8GB
OCZ ATV 8GB

The OCZ turbo was reviewed by TomsHardWare. This is the one that seems to run on dual channel.
