And with those larger files comes more time required to physically move them from device to computer and vice versa. Storage capacity is cheap, but speed hasn't changed much since USB 2.0 is still the standard. While USB flash drives are "pretty fast", that may seem like an eternity if you have a few gigabytes of info to move. So we're stuck, right? Wrong. OCZ apparently has the answer for those people who need much faster than a simple USB flash drive, and they're accomplishing it with an eSATA interface.

Sure it's very fast, but it doesn't come without a few hiccups of its own, so today we're going to examine the OCZ Throttle 32GB eSATA/USB flash drive and see what it can do. How fast is it really? Is the price worth that extra speed boost? Let's find out.
