.:: Help Me Buy A Pen Drive ::.

hey khandu, the reader in the pic ios HUGE.. larger than a CD.. come on man..
if u find a pen type reader tell me.. XD alone will suffice

Actually, the pic contains the reader as well as its sorrounding packing. All that is blue is just paper. What is in silver is the actual card reader. khandu is right (and so am I ). Its as big as a few credit cards stacked one above the other. Smaller than my palm and fits even in my shirt pocket.

guys saw an ad in a tech mag which speaks about 25 in 1 ...

BTW if I purchase these in 1's then I think I have to purchase a memory card seperately.

Which is the cheapest and best card that can be used in these in 1's.?

 

[khandu]

cheapest is simple MMC card.. u can get 512 MB around Rs. 1800

i dont think there is much diff in the top one and 25-in-1.. dont know which extra cards the 25-in-1 read..

Go for LG 512 MB

i am using it with no problem

With LG u also get cd for 98, no wire needed in XP

Long cord to join Pen Drive with Cpu and cheap cost

Instead of MMC card, why not take SD cards? Cist diff is about Rs. 100.

Card readers may say they are 25-in-1. But are there 25 types of cards available?

 

[khandu]

i thought MMC are cheaper than SD

 

[tuXian]

ok guys I can go in for a reader.

BTW one of my frnd is only interested in Pen Drive 128 MB and wants to know which one is best of these:

1. Kingston
2. Transcend
3. i
4. MSI

Plz lemme know

 

[alib_i]

from my limited knowledge : transcend

[khandu]

iball is cheapest i guess and very reliable..

best would be Sony Microvault or Transcend

 

[tuXian]

any idea how much sony costs. Is it easily available in India

 

[khandu]

gimme some days to get the pricing.. my friend has it..

 

[tuXian]

BTW do all the pen drives have a clip like a pen so that its easily attached to the pocket??

 

[plasmafire]

i donn think so tux.. my old sony didn't have one.. but it could be worn like a pendant

 

[khandu]

No.. I dont think any clip is there.. yeah sony does have a rope.. as plasma said..

 

[tuxfan]

i thought MMC are cheaper than SD

What you thought is right MMC cards are cheaper, but SD are better. May be that is why they are a little more expensive

 

[plasmafire]

MMC cards suk.. SD give u data protection, better speeds and are more durable.. if possible go 4 SD, worth the price

 

[tuXian]

Yeah as tuxfan pointed out with a meagre price difference its better to go in for a SD instead of MMC.

 

[rohanbee]

Yes definately i have to vote for sd too........

 

[khandu]

Hey SD gone cheaper it seems.

Here is the pricing what i found out.. not NCP .. this Brand is Delkin --> www.delkin.com
