Assuming USB3 V/s Kingston USB2 690 vs 460 = Rs. 240 for 5-6 Mbps (Write Difference) + 20-30 Mbps (Read Difference). Still seems worth it.

The write speeds are around 10-11 MBps.

The drive you mentioned has very low USB 3.0 write speeds, which is what allows them to price it so cheaply. If you truly need good write speeds, you'll have to pay more, otherwise get a good USB2.0 drive with decent enough speeds and almost double the storage for a similar price range.
 
@pr0ing: Wow 32GB for 730. Wt about read speed, USB3 version read speed looks impressive. Transcend USB3.0 is almost double the cost of USB2.0 and provides the real USB3.0 but i was just comparing the price by paying little bit higher and enjoying read/write speed which is more that USB2.0. And i dont think Kingston urdrive G3 have 10-11 Mbps write speed available at Rs. 460
