price of 8 gB pendrives

whats the latest price of 8 GB usb2 pendrives?? no brand fixation.. warranty higher better:)

It depends

Last month a friend bought a 8GB Kingston pendrive for Rs.520(inclusive of all taxes). It was a “Designed for DELL” pen drive and it was really really fast (Write speed: 9MB/s)

All other 8GB pen drives were being sold for Rs.550 + tax

If you can get the “Designed for DELL” Kingston pendrive locally, buy it without any second thought :blush:

thnx brother…

And in compact category pen drives, this one’s the best:

How many years warranty does it have??

In the Ebay link that sato1986 provided, it mentions 2years warranty. Is’nt 2yrs a bit too less??

yes two years it is… but frankly i dnt care much… i feel and what i have seen after a few years of usage they tend to go sluggish… i was using a trnscend 4 gB for last 4 years… no bad sector till now though transfer speeds reduced a lot… gave it to my gf… no question of warranty issue as i take care of my pendrives, none of them went kaput… i could use the 4 gB more but she needed one and nowadays the os sizes are so huge cant accomodate in a 4 gB… :slight_smile:

btw sandisk is gd and most prbbly providing a 5 years warranty… but downside is the open cap … its a big turnoff for having a pendrive with no provision of cap from outside dust etc…

@OP, you could have bought 8gb pen drive for 350 from letsbuy dot com with the discount coupon.
