OMkar BhalkeNov 05, 2015After a bit of research, (which I always do before buying any peripherals whether it costs 1k or 45k) I short-listed Toshiba Hayabusa 16gb Pen Drive. My previous pen drive is also a Toshiba 4Gb which I bough in 2007. When buying a USB pen drive I insist on 3 things:
a) A Cap to protect it from dust and moisture
b) LED indicator to identify whether data is being read/transferred
c) An eyelid to hook your pen drive to your key chain etc.
Pros:
1) Brilliant small design - Compact, yet handy. Feels solid, made of good quality plastic.
2) Cap can be removed and fitted on the main body making it impossible to loose the cap.
3) LED indicator is beautiful green. Yes, its is concealed and can't be spotted.
4) Data transfer speed is satisfactory, compliant with USB 2.0 standards
5) Toshiba is one of the pioneers in chip fabrication and is obviously a good brand.
6) 'Made in Philippines' engraved on the reverse side. Tired of 'Made in China' mark. :))
7) Competitively priced!3Omkar
