@Amartya- Congrats, that HP really looks sexy :), does that have that >2GB problem, I mean can you transfer a single more than 2GB file in to it?

@Cilus- Hmm, good one, congrats.

@Ajayasish- Congrats, lovely purchase. Mention Price too.

@Ajayritik- Great, though the Price seems a bit high. Congrats anyway.

The write speed test are screwed up, most probably due to the drives being in NTFS and windows is caching the writes initially, USB 2.0 cannot achieve those write speeds in practice, the max you should get are from external HDDs and they cap out at 22-28MBps(theoretical max is 60MBps), pen drives like those get around 8-10MBps max(barring special drives like flash voyager GT)

USB 2.0 data rates:

The theoretical maximum data rate in USB 2.0 is 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s) per controller and is shared amongst all attached devices. Some chipset manufacturers overcome this bottleneck by providing multiple USB 2.0 controllers within the southbridge.

Transfer speeds in practice:

As of 2004, the actual throughput of USB 2.0 high bandwidth attained with a hard drive tested on a Mac was about 18 MiB/s, 30% of the maximum theoretical bulk data transfer rate of 60 MB/s (57.2 MiB/s or 480 Mbit/s). On Windows, the highest speed observed was 33 MiB/s, or 55% of the theoretical max. The drive could reach 58 MiB/s on Firewire, so the drive's speed was not a limiting factor.

According to a USB-IF chairman, "at least 10 to 15 percent of the stated peak 60 MB/s (480 Mbit/s) of Hi-Speed USB goes to overhead — the communication protocol between the card and the peripheral. Overhead is a component of all connectivity standards."

Typical high bandwidth USB devices operate at lower data rates, often about 3 MiB/s overall, sometimes up to 10–20 MiB/s.

Best way to measure is transfer a large file like 700MB+, measure the time using a stopwatch and then calculate speeds.

@Amartya, @Ajayasish, @Cilus, @Ajayritik, nice purchase everyone.

For transferring big file you have to format your pendrive to NTFS partition normally its FAT32.

i was well aware of the fact that HD6850 can be had via Internet Sellers at 9.5k
SMC was selling the same for 10.3k(shipped) so was ITWares@10.1k
but seeing my father's concerns regarding online shopping i decided to pay 700 bucks extra and buy the same from the local dealer itself
