Transcend VS Kingston

Sep 5, 2007 4:52PM PDT

I am planning to buy a 2 or 4 gb usb pen drive and cant decide which is better- Kingston or Transcend.Which is better performancewise? Cost is not a problem.
Please mention the modelname if possible.

If one has the Readyboost logo on it then it's faster. If not it's much like a chicken or ham sandwich. Pick which looks better to you.

What does it mean?

What do you actually mean by ReadyBoost?How does it effect the transfer-rates?Can this feature be used only with Windows Vista?
From what i have searched,Transcend doesnt have a pendrive with ReadyBoost.

I answered your question but wonder if you read it.

Since one didn't have readyboost then the one with would be faster so that would be my choice.
