I'm planning to buy a 2 GB Pen Drive, but was confused b/w Kingston and Transcend. These were the two names that I could get down upon to after asking a lot of friends.

Could you please tell me about prices of these two products, and also if anybody out of you is using it, which do you find better?

Transcent, nd Kingston have somewhat same quality nd transcent performs better. So my vote for transcent.

@ApoorvKhatreja
Ive a doubt bout ur transcent drive. Does ur drive pass the speed test by vista to use as ram??If it does then ill also want to buy a transcent 4GB one.

Last week only i got Kingston 4GB one, but it didn't pass the speed test.
