Fast 4GB USB flash drive: Which are there and are there any tests/reviews?

[MechEng]

As title says I'm in the market looking to purchase a 4GB (or larger if necessary, but not needed) USB flash drive...

The most important thing to me is that it has as fast a read speed and access time as possible... (SSD not an option due to price )
It will be used to run a game from that tends to load a lot of smaller files when zoning, that's why the read and especially the access time is important to me.

I have searched high and low for some decent/recent reviews of various flash drives but without any luck... Anyone here know of any such reviews or know what drives I should have a look at?

Might want to look at the reviews for these two:

Corsair Flash Voyager GT (the non-GT versions aren't nearly as fast) (32.1MB/s read - 22.5MB/s write - 34MB/s burst)
Sandisk Cruzer Contour (26.4MB/s read - 16MB/s write - 30.9MB/s burst)

Way more than I'm willing to pay for a USB drive, but hey, if speed's your thing. All three of my own older Sandisk USB drives completely failed the Vista ReadyBoost certification "benchmark" .
