Hey all. Does anybody here know the hands down fastest 4GB USB stick available right now? I don't need encryption or anything fancy at all. Just the straight up absolute fastest drive available. Speed speed speed. Which takes the cake?

Corsair Flash Voyager GT
From a review, In a simple drag-and-drop test of a single 699MB the Flash Voyager GT took a mere 32 seconds to copy the file. Compare this to 1min 34sec for the older Flash Voyager and 1min 41sec for a SanDisk Cruzer Micro. Considering you have got 8GB at your disposal, it is not unthinkable that you will end up copying several large files like this onto the Flash Voyager GT.
