Pen Drive is immensely needed to transfer the required data, beloved songs and films from one computer to another. It is known to be one of the easiest ways in today’s arena. Without Pen Drive it is difficult to do all above tasks. Today, it is the situation that Pen drive is a style statement like a “Pen in a Pocket”. All we can see such type of situation everywhere around us.

Can anybody tell me how much byte in 1GB? Is it 1,000,000,000 Bytes? Yeah! 1GB = 1,000,000,000 Bytes. Such tremendous spaces you can get keep your data in such tiny gadget. But many times we never get exact 1 GB space as it denotes 1 GB Pen Drive. Around 0.93GB is the space availability in 1GB Pen Drive. Then what about remaining bytes? You know what? A certain portion (1~3%) of the storage capacity might be reserved for firmware and maintenance use. (Image Source : Transcend)

Pen Drives from well-known Transcend are available in various capacities from 2 GB to 32 GB. You can also get “Security Features” with some of the models. It means all you can keep-n-lock your precious and important data with password. Top of that, you can store you favorite Web Pages that you like most. All these classic categories having a weight of just 10 gms. Depending on the models costs also varies from Rs. 500/- to Rs. 2,700/- I think there is no such gadget like Transcend that help you in lot of assignments. So go for it depending on your requirement.

The gadget world : Memory Stick : PC exteriors - 1

Almost people know about Pen Drive. Pen drives have become so common place and so varied in designs, I have even noticed one that brings off to make a play on words on it's name by actually doubling as a pen. Yes, it is a flash memory device, it can hold up only a limited number of write and erase cycles before failure. Mid-range flash drives under normal conditions will support several hundred thousand cycles, although write operations will gradually slow as the device ages. Howerver, at the rate memory sticks are expanding in size, it will probably be time to replace the drive even before it is necessary. Another quality of being a hindrance is because of its size they are easier to misplace or lose.

Keep an eye on your flash drive, or at least, add it to your key chain. From so many days I have used Transcend pen drives that starts from Rs. 300 for 1GB of storage and Rs. 400 for 2GB. A 32 GB drive however, costs Rs. 3,400.
