Which brand better? Kingston, A-Data, Kingmax?

between kingston vs adata vs kingmax, i personally choose adata. use 2 for myself n several fren of mine use it. small in shape, n i believe it used small current to operate (we hv imac usb keyboard which hv usb port, only adata able to be detect, whereas others need to use back of the casing usb port).

brand name go for Kingston. but from my experience it doesn't matter much, all of them will still serve its purpose of backup and quick transfer of data...unless your thinking of using it to bootup your system and as such reliability is very important, then Kingston.

price of pen drive and RAMs is dropping pretty drastic over here at Malaysia (Kuching)...i am not sure about kl though

There is one type of pen drive sold in Malaysia which is password protected, that is to say, in order to access it, you can choose to put a password. CMOS is the name.

I'd go with Kingston, It's a very well known and trusted brand

If I'm not mistaken (last I remember), Kingston is also one of the slowest...

Well, I think most pendrives are about the same. Even Kingston ones are bound to fail. I have one Kingston that was ok the minute before but died the next. Luckily no critical information in it.
