With prices of flash drives dropping drastically, higher capacity drives are flooding the market at prices that are previously unheard of. Kingston's new 16 GB drive is one of the largest, flash drives we tested this month. In design, the DT400 is of the same size and format as most other flash drives. It comes with a swinging protection plate suspended on a hinge. This adds to the sturdiness of the drive and also gives it a nice look. Password protection in the drive takes care of any security concerns, and performance is not an issue as well.



It performs superbly in the sequential file tests. On an average, we got data transfer rates of between 25 and 30 MBps. Write speeds are slower as expected. HD Tach showed average write speeds of around 10 MBps, which is still quite impressive as compared to other drives of this capacity. A software called Migosync comes bundled with the drive, and allows you to sychronize files. At Rs 3,999, this drive makes good sense for those who are looking for good performance within a good budget.
