Need a fast pen drive in 512kb range.

Budget is within Rs500. I'm not concerned with the write speed of the pendrive. I'm concerned with the write speed of pen drive in 4KB range, it should have speed Greater or equal to 0.100 MB/sec. Benchmark your pen drive with crystal mark *release.crystaldew.info/redirect.php?product=CrystalDiskMarkSetupEn
Use 100MB as test setting

I want good write speed at lower file sizes because I'm going to install linux in it... but USb 3.0 pen drives have compatibility problems when booting from USB 2.0 ports.

Then fastest would be corsair flash voyager GT, you can get one from here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/bazaar/16...-s-read-16mb-s-write-fastest-flash-drive.html - 16GB
Also you could get one from here for cheaper rate: *www.ebay.in/itm/Corsair-8GB-Flash-...3?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item2a20cc89df - 8GB

Pen drives, or any memory devices show different speeds while writing files of different sizes, a pendrive could give 10MBps on large files but may not give even 1MBPs on small files.

Its a technological limit, you wouldn't understand unless you have read about memory architecture, specially access mechanisms, if you're a CSE/IT student then read up computer architecture, memory part.

Don't sweat it, I am a CSE student, hence my knowledge, ask me about mechanical engineering and I'd be dumb as Mr Bean.

That's expensive... I don't want good sequential writes, I already have adata pen drive for that. I'm thinking of sandisk cruzer, it is better in writing small files but gives only 3MBps in sequential writes.
Any one owning sandisk cruzer here is willing to perform a simple test...
Adata makes the fastest USB2 pendrives. My friend has got a 16GB some model, it gives 18-25MB/s write and 30-40MB/s read and it is a USB2 pendrive.
Edit:- I will post my pendrive benchmarks, it is a 16GB Kingston pendrive designed for Dell. Looks something like this-
Edit 2:- Here it is-

Think of it like a task to transfer 10 boxes of 1kg vs transferring a single box of 10kg, which one will be easier/faster? Obviously the 10kg box.
