What's your budget and what size do you want?

Overally Corsair is a better one.

Made some edits.

I want both in usb 2.0 hs and usb 3.0, and the cost doesnt matter, while the size must be 32gb.

So, if budget allows i should go for Corsair. If not, i should go for transcend or kingston and sandisk or strontium should be the last priority.

can you get 16MB write speed on a Rs500 USB Flash Drive...?

You can get more speed from a sandisk high speed usb 2.0 pen drive for rs. 500. Click Here

Also, you said in your thread, "I recommend this to all of you who don't want to buy costly USB 3.0 pen drives but want the performance of USB 3.0." But usb 3.0 provide speeds upto 80mb/s, which is nowhere near, that to 5 times more than your usb 2.0 pen drive.

I also own that cruzer pen drive but writing speed dosen't go beyond 4MBPS how can you say that it's giving more writing speed than the Adata one which have 16MBPS writing speed. Only corsair flash voyager and some special edition pen drives have the speed of Adata but they are much costlier.

Regarding my thread I will edit it.

I answered the post above your post. Its due to chaching by the browser & only 4 minute of time difference between our post, makes it look in that way.
Edited that post of mine. ;)

I had PNY USB 2.0 drive which gives write speed upto 16MB/s - now lost it.
The USB 3.0 PD of Sandisk I've offers write speed around 22MB/s

So USb 2.0 is not always too slower.
