Hi Guys,

I'm looking to buy a 16GB Pen Drive. Its a bit confusing with so many options available (plz see link below).Please suggest a Brand/Model to buy.

Pen Drives: Computer Accessories List: Flipkart.com

Thanks

16GB pendrives cost around 0.9k-1k. So, better spend around Rs.500 more and get a 250GB external HDD or atleast 160GB external HDD.

^^ Seconded. There is no point of buying 16GB pen drive as you will get same portability while using an external HDD.

Reliabilty of Flash drive > HD
Amazon.com: Corsair Flash Voyager 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSB2.0-16GB: Electronics

@v2kisad: 16GB is costly & adding a little amount more u can buy a external HDD (250GB)..
some good brands are
Corsair Flash Voyager.
Transcend Jet Flash
Kingston Data Traveler
SanDisk Sansa

Thank You for the reply Guys. I know it makes more sense to go for an external hard drive however I already have quite few hard drives. I'm looking for a replacement pen drive for my current 16GB Sandisk Cruzer which is now being used in the car.

I'l mostly be using the new pen drive for transferring files in office with colleagues and with my desktop at home.

You can check ADATA Superior S102 16gb model.
It got the best buy from digit(August/2011).It has good performance for its price.It is around 1.1k(I guess).

I have purchased HP 16GB pen drive (that shiny one) from flipkart for Rs.900 last month

quite good...
