  Is there a special reason why only this drive will work with the Xbox?

  Its already compatible to the the Xbox, but can be used on pc as well. By the way this is the cheapest. Amazon sells it for £10+.

  So you can't use any other drive on the Xbox?
  
  I was just wondering what the compatibility issues might be.

  Yeah but Microsoft have just made this easier to be adaptable because it has software already on it that allows it to be used with the Xbox straight away, whereas with a normal USB drive you can do the same but you need to manually make it compatible yourself.

  Buy here, save yourself a few quid and format it in the system options on your xbox, takes a few seconds.

  Good answer but with this having better write speeds and say i don't want it for Xbox would the write speed change if i wanted to format to NTFS or FAT32?

  Not sure if write speeds differ between FAT and NTFS, cant see why they would to be honest but am probably wrong. I just think that for the Xbox (as this is being marketed as) then the kinds of things you are going to put on the stick then the speed wont matter.

  Write speeds shouldn't differ much between formats if at all.
  
  This device is good if you want an easy solution that is guaranteed to meet the 360's storage performance recommendation.

  Do not buy OCZ RALLY 2 pens anymore (If you do make sure they got an Orange activity/ access led and all will be fine but blue LEDs will mean they are *****) I bought 2 last year when I tested them they were Dog ******* slow so RMA'd both back to the land of Tulips and I got sent 2 replacements some weeks later (this was over 8 months ago (I've just opened them, well the 4gb version) and It's the absolutely ******* ****. (see above and the same as the ones I RMA'd)
  
  My first lot of Ocz rally pens years ago were fantastic and very expensive (very fast though 22-25 meg write SLC) 1 of my 4gb was £77 and the other when the price dropped to £45.
  
  Fair enough I bought these much cheaper and they are MLC but the blurb remains the same on the packaging (blazing speeds/ ultra fast dual channel technology) etc and OCZ Wiki fails to mention they changed controllers etc.
  
  Utter garbage I'm not even going to bother opening the 8gb version . I'm just gonna set fire to it with some lighter fluid in the garden to achieve these so called blazing speeds

  LOUD NOISES!!!
  
  I'm sure the above is very important but for the purpose of a tepid deal it's an overkill. Cheers anyway :)
