Hi guys I am planning to buy a new pen drive but I have few questions from you all so that I can make an intelligent purchase?


Product related queries
1) Are USB 3.0 Flash drives, 3 times faster than USB 2.0?
2) Apart from from being faster than USB 2.0, do they provide any other advantages?

Purchase related queries
1) I want to buy a 32 GB flash drive, I can see that very cheap USB 2.0 flash drives are available from online stores, are such cheap and good quality USB 3.0 flash drives available in India currenty?
2) If they are not available in India, suggest me some good USB 3.0 flash drives which I might get from Europe (as my father is in Ukraine, currently)

What your budget?

My budget is 1k. Plus size is not an issue anymore. I don't specifically want a 32 GB, I want one which comes in 1K. Tell me one thing. What all do I need to see in a flash drive before buying one?

With 1K budget you won't get 32GB USB3 flash drive.
If you want really good drive, get this: Corsair Flash Survivor 16 GB CMFSV3-16GB USB 3.0
16GB version will cost you ~1K if you can buy from USA.

you need to confirm that it is USB 3.0 and comes with warranty, that's it!

But about Write speed and other things which will differentiate one USB 3.0 flash drive from another. I mean how will I be able to judge if a Corsair one is better or a Transcend one?

you need a USB 3.0 motherboard for USB 3.0 drives to work at full potential otherwise they will work like USB 2.0 on older mobos
also the only difference u will get is in speed.

That only Lab test or Reviews can tell you how much speed each pendrive gives.

Transcend is also a good brand...

This one has very good speeds according to Flipkart reviews. But is out of stock on Flipkart. You can look for it in the market.

You need not see anything except warranty and speed of the pen drive. As far as warranty is concerned, I have had good experience with Kingston and Corsair. Rest, I have no idea.

I haven't heard much name for Vebatim when it comes to Flash Drives, thats the only thing.
Anyway, I have kept the plan of buying a flash drive on hold for now. Shortage of funds, diverting the money to buy a new phone. Thanks for all the help guys.
