Usb Memory Stick Price in India (1GB 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB 64GB 128GB 256GB) (Transcend HP Kingston Moserbear Toshiba Sandisk Imation)


A wide variety of USB memory sticks (pen drives) are available in Indian stores according to brand (Transcend HP Kingston Moserbear Toshiba Sandisk Imation) and capacity (1GB 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB 64GB 128GB 256GB). Their prices, which depend on capacity/brand, are reducing day by day and range from 150 rupees to 7000 rupees for the most used drives.

USB memory sticks are widely used for their small size for relatively huge non-volatile storage capacities, high portability (you can hide it even in your mouth), compatibility with any computer that has atleast one Usb port, sleek and cute designs and some are sexy transparent. These are very advantageous compared to CD, DVD, older floppy or other non-volatile storage mediums. And they are also more reliable than CDs/DVDs as the latter can get damaged irreparably with scratches and the USB memory sticks (also known as pen drives) are nowadays coming as waterproof and shock resistant.

There are a wide variety of USB pen drives available in the Indian market sold by manufacturers such as Transcend, HP, Kingston, Moserbear, Toshiba, Sandisk, Imation, Corsair, OCZ, LUPO, etc. and also range widely in their capacities such as 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. You can almost replace your hard disk with these but the cost dramatically rises for higher capacities. If you go higher capacities at the most 32GB is reasonable and 16GB is most economical for portable storage purposes. For higher needs portable hard disk drives are already available for lesser costs.

The costs of USB pen drive (memory sticks) in India range from Rs. 150 for 1GB to Rs. 900 for 8GB to Rs. 1800 for 16GB to Rs. 48,000 for 256GB which is rarely used. Below are the lists of prices of various USB memory sticks listed based on their capacities and brands:
