The No.1 Stupid
Hi friends,
I m planning to buy a 1GB Pen Drive, but I m really confused about which brand to go for?

I have so far thought about

Umax: 1yr warranty(i have heard the quality is good)
Transcend:1yr warranty(i ve heard quality is good but 70% stuff is fake)
kingston data traveller:5 yr warranty.(no idea about quality)


please guide me , which one to go for.
My budget is max. Rs.3500.

I want a pen drive that can survive tough conditions coz its gonna be used very frequently and quite roughly.
I want it to be durable atleast 3-4 yrs.

please suggest me which is the best buy.

waiting for your response....

I got Transcend JetFlash 1 GB USB 2.0 model @ Rs 4K some 6 months ago. Service is good as I actually connected it to faulty USB port and it busted, but got it replaced in just 2 days.

ok , then I will go for Kingston.
But My vendor is telling me the price as much as 4k.
Is this cost fair?
I mean am i getting a fair deal?
Also tell me , if the Kingston market is also flooded with fake stuff , just like Transcend?
what about their service quality?

i duno about pen drives but i think 2 warranty is must for any electronic item.
In that case, Kingston would me be my choice.

Friend i feel this is quite fair. I am in singapore right now. The local 'shinko-pinko' brands themselves cost like S$ 150 (= 3900 - 4000Rs).
Their warranty sucks.

By the way does the Kingston brand cost the same in bangalore?
