I'm sorry, but that is simply not true. Tested AND confirmed by OCZ support who tried to get it to work and couldn't.

OCZ Rally 2 works. You have to format it in NTFS though.

OCZ is also really fast!

If I had one available here, I'd certainly try it. But since the OCZ folks just disappeared and stopped answering email once I asked them to show me the Rally2 working on the released version of Windows Vista x64 Ultimate, I strongly doubt that it will work. Certainly the Rally2 that I bought less than a month ago does NOT work.

I just bought an OCZ Rally2 OCZUSBR2DC-2GB that has been proven to be readyboost capable by extremetech.com; however the older Rally2 is not readyboost capable. Could you find out if the OCZUSBR2DC-2GB is compatible with x64 Ultimate?

Interesting, Vern. I hadn't ever actually tried to remove it. Good to know.

You know that with the Swiss Army USB you can actually remove the disk portion of the "knife" from the rest. If you do that it's actually one of the smaller USB drives out there...
