After a week’s hard work I woke up 7:30 am on saturday . Thinking about my future….who knows maybe only few days more in my present company . So ? I have to back up and I need a pen-drive ! 4 hours later I found myself on the very crowded street at SP road . This is saturday so some techies are here with there ‘problems’ and other with their upgrade mania .
1st shop : -usb pen drive hai ?
– hai transcend ka. Kitna MB ?
-256.
-Rs 1200
-ok and 512 ?
-Rs 1800
The very next shop said 512mb transcend @ 1700( JETFLASH 110) . Then again some said between 1700-1800 .
I checked about 12 shops ….least price for 512MB transend is 1700 . Highest price I heard is Rs 1900 . Most shops have only transend and no other bands . So I went into a less-crowded
Shop who said Rs 1700 . I said I can give you 1650 not more than that .
Sorry boss nahi ho sakta ….he said 5 minutes why it cannot come at Rs 1650 . So I said ok at last . I gave him Rs 1700 but said I am very thirsty …so give back something so I can drink a coke at least .he agreed .
It comes with a manual , a very cute little driver cd ( only win98 needs driver ) and few pages of other product ads and a very useful pc-to-driverdrive-wire .
When I broke the plastic and got the pendrive at hand …it is no weightless that I thought there is nothing inside it ….Anyway I put it into the USB drive . It took exactly 1 min to uplad a file of 500MB . Good-good good .So it has something inside it . 500 mb in this drive ??!!
Anyway 2 gb drive is also comes with same weight ( all 11 gram) .
It is working fine all the way as it should be . Thanks ….never again to floopy .
But I see it is NOT 512 mb ….but less than that . I don’t know why . May be manufacturer’s error and I paid the price for 512 but it is actually around 500 . So I have lost around 12 mb .
Another thing very annoying is the driver in out switch( as they make it a sliding USB). It is not very rigid so while I am trying to plug it at my motherboard it is going inside .
+ very handy
+ data transfar speed is good
– not total 512 mb
– the in-out switch is soft this sliding USB concept is really bad .
NOW WHATS UR OPINION
:roll: 
ya goobimama i think u r right ( but not sure) .after watching some other threads I have the same thought now . Previously I thought it is my pen-drive's problem . it has exactly 512000000 bytes but if they r following 1000b=1kb then we cannot do anything... they should follow 1024
