Transcend is the best! I recently took 2 Transcend 1GB JF 168 for Rs. 1250. Its a high speed one.

Transcend T30 will be available for cheap but its a low speed one.

Check out www.transcendusa.com for more details on available models.

Get a Hi-Speed Transcend as TuxFan mentioned above, they are real fast

[coolboy_n]

Thanks for d support !!

[mihirvashist]

if u ask me kingston drives are the best...but then 1 GB drive is not cheap...their speed is gr8...however if u want to go cheap go with transcend...they have some very good models......

Lifetime means till the serial number written on the body of the pen-drive is not erased So be careful about it.

[manas]

Go for Transcend Jetflash series...They r the best..

[freezer]

Kingston is the best !

ya its true... transend is awasom atleast at that price.. i too use one of 512mb.. but what if it gets damage or some problem.. shop keeper says they will change.. but still now has anybody changed.. they are not having any store or office in india(my dealer said).. so what next..

I opt for iball. Took a 1 gb 6 months ago. The product is the smallest pendrive i ever seen but not so hardy and strong.. but u know, if u have any problem in there product take it to any of there office and they give a new one back in 5 min. I like the way they do that without asking any question..

link to the pic of the pendrive.. http://www.cyberindian.net/wp-conten...-pen-drive.gif
and u want to know the price.. 1GB in bangalore SP road at Primer Shop i asked today and the said 900 for 1gb with 2 yrs warrenty

Yaa u r correct.I read this in the manual.Anyway thanx for the info tuxfan.

Wow, i bought a jetflash 1 gb yesterday. Was worried whether it will work ok and if it would be reliable. This thread put my fears to rest. but @the.kaushik, could you find out about any dealer in india in case my drive goes kaput?

[tuxfan]

At least here in Mumbai, the dealer provides a warranty max for 2 years. After that, we have to go directly to manufacturer. Now I really don't know where the manufacturer is. Indian address is not mentioned anywhere

But I will worry about it after 1 year and 10 months

[Kiran.dks]

+1 for Transcend. Go for it. The best ones in Pen drives. Excellent build quality and performance.

[ax3]

whots the cost 4 1GB pen drive ?

[ilugd]

the one i bought was 1250 rs for 1 gb transcend jetflash v30. The dealer said that lifetime validity is from the company and not from him.

[tuxfan]

Here in Mumbai, V30 is available for 1050 with 2 yrs warranty from the dealer and the rest from manufacturer.

For 1250, we can get JF 168 1GB which is high speed

I think the prices in chennai are still lower and Qwerty will gladly point out

--hi,i hav been working with transcend 1gb,and not yet got any problem,it has lifetime warrenty,not so much expensive,...again of twin mos is also possessing the same conditions......but the peoples has attenuation towards transcend only.........bye take care..........

[slugger]

Has any body used the iBALL 2GB Flash Drive. This month in the flash drive shootout, DIGIT said that it has a poor build quality. I would like to know how the build quality of the dive would affect my usage of the drve (don't plan to play FootBall with it). Is it advicble to purchase this drive since it is being sold at such a low price and also seems to have a high speed.

PS: I noticed that on the paramter of Sturdiness of overall package both the Corsair Voyager, whic won the shootout and the iBall flash drive, were awarded 6 points.

[ilugd]

poor build quality!!! My Transcend 1 GB drive is not working. No signs of any physical damage at all. It was working yesterday. I bought this just 2 months ago. the serial number printed on it is not clear anymore, but we can see it. Will the dealer replace it?

[jal_desai]

LEXAR and SANDISK... these are the best... but they are available in just few cities in india...only in the metros... but then u can always opt for Transcend

if u have the BILL provided by tht dealer and if ur good at "lagaoing maska" if ur a good talker then i m sure u'll get a new one

[ranjan2001]

Any dealer/address/contact no. in delhi ,I want to buy 2 or 4gb transcend usb drive, all I got to know was kingston pen drives in the market.

[ilugd]

Kalra Stationers - E-38/1, Main Market, Hauz Khas, New Delhi - 110016 Ph: 26564282

Elite Stationers - E-33, Hauz Khas Market - New Delhi 110016, Ph: 26858407.

I had a bit of trouble with my transcend v30 1 gb which i bought two months ago. It stopped working. But the shop, Kalra from which I got it has taken it from me saying that he will get it replaced. So i guess alls well that ends well. I saw a 4gb drive with him. Not sure on the price though. Do check out elite also if you drop by. Thats a good shop.

[Lucky_star]

I bought JetFlash JFV30 1GB 6 months back and is working fine. Two weeks ago I unknowingly left the drive in my trousers while I washed it. It remained submerged in the Bucket full of water with surf detergent for 2 hours. Later when I searched for it I found it inside the wet trousers. I hoped for the best an dried it under the fan. Luckily its working fine now.



BTW, the shopkeeper told me that the lifetime warranty is till the life-time of the product.

[ilugd]

i guess i was just unlucky. I didn't drop it or put it in water or anything. There is no physical damage. It just stopped working all of a sudden. Still waiting with fingers crossed. Will check tomorrow if he has got it repaired.

[Shasanka_Gogoi]

Simply go for ZION. Its highly reliable and that to at a price same as that of the Transcend.

[subratabera]

I have bought a Transcend JetFlash JFV30 2GB drive yesterday...but it is too slow...My first 128MB Umax(USB v2.0) drive is much faster than this...BTW I am using it on a USB v1.0 port.

Is my drive faulty???

Please help...

[kalpik]

V30 is SLOW! You should have got JF120.
