The prices that I know of: -> 256 MB pen drive average range: Rs 1500 to Rs 2200 - depending on name of the company. If you add fancier things like an mp3 player to your usb drive, current costs I have heard is Rs 2300 to Rs 2800 - again depending on the company name. -> DVD-R DVD+R: Rs 15 to Rs 43 - depending on quality. Suggestion: go for Moser Baer or Sony. These are usually compatible with most DVD writers out there. -> DVD+RW: about Rs 150 -> Dual layer DVD : Current market price Rs 400. Wait for a while - the prices are reducing. -> DVD writers: LG dual layer = Rs 2300 --- And to add to Sudhanwa's comment: Of course DVD's have a much higher storage to price ratio. But try comparing the overall size, the requirement of a separate writer, a suitable power source and so on.
The "USB" part of the pen drive is what makes it so immensly popular. --- sudhanwa Jogalekar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/29/05, Gurudatta Raut > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > From: "Anil Wadghule" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > I am about to purchase an USB pen drive. > > > I am buying Transcend 256 MB Pen drive. > > > Also tell me the price for 256 MB transcend Pen > > > > U may be getting that pen for a reason, but let me > > remind U. > > > > 4.5 GB Rewritable DVD = 30Rs. per CD, Hows That > > compared to 256MB ? > > > > > > And what about the DVD writer pricing??
