Need suggestions for 8 GB Pen Drive

[ajayritik]

Guys, I want to buy a new 8 GB Pen drive so wanted to check with you all which brand is best to go for. I currenlty have two Transcen Pen Drives one is 2 GB and the other 4 GB.

I have heard that Corsair is good brand.

Kindly suggest which one to go for.

Kingston is also a good brand, but san disk is more vfm. For ex san disk 4gb is rs480, kingston 4gb is rs550, and sony will be rs725

For some reason the transend ones I have have always served me better than the Sandisk one. But I still prefer Sandisk as I think they make the best quality memory.

I have:
1 16GB Sony Stick
2 8GB Transend
1 8GB Sandisk
1 8GB Sandisk (died)
1 256MB [vintage drive]

Stick to the good brands. Sandisk, Transcend, Kingston etc.

Also I remember there is an option wherein you can use the Pen Drive as RAM if you have Windows Vista as OS. Is this true?

 

[Sarath]

I have never heard of such a thing.

Yes. Option peeps up when you insert any storage media via the USB port in windows 7.

Also try this link dude... sony 8gb pendrive @ INR799+shipping

Thats readyboost and it actually doesnt consider the pen drive a RAM instead uses it in the manner of a pagefile

 

[soumo27]

^^Yup. And it's available in win 7 also.

Go for Sandisk

 

[Zangetsu]

best brands
sandisk
transcend
kingston
flash voyager

its a windows ready boost feature (started with windows vista & now in windows 7)
Btw it just make page file in pendrive...so that virtual memory is optimized
making execution faster (recommended when user has less RAM)

Too be really honest I wasn't going beyond the below brands
1. Transcend
2. Kingston
3. Corsair
4. Sandisk

Only thing was if given an option which one should I go for. The one I know least or used very little among the four listed above is Sandisk. Though I have Sandisk Memory stick for my digital camera never used one as pen drive. Mostly used Transcend and Kingston.

I am also looking to buy an 8GB pen drive.
Letsbuy is offering Strontium 8GB pendrive for Rs 500 /-
I want to know how's the brand Strontium as I have never used it before?

If not Strontium, how about HP ?

 

[MegaMind]

If not Strontium, how about HP ?

Hp has poor data transfer rate...

Look for corsair...
