Default What is maximum size of pen drives?
I want to buy a large pen drive to transfer my office data to home and vice versa.

Just go out and buy an external harddrive. A 1Tb external hard drive can be cheaper than a 32Gb flash drive.

he he he am also asking where did you find a external HDD cheaper than a flash pendrive. It is not at all possible (you might be heard the availability but don't you want your harddisk work for some good years?? or is it okay getting problems with the next month of purchase. and even without guarantee). I never heard anything like this..I know pendrives upto 80 GB.After that i don't know, may be there..am not sure...

Well they range from 500mb which is smaller than the size of a CD and they can go up to 10gb, beyond that it is not possible for the architecture of a pen drive to carry any more data..

buy an external hard disk so that it's rather cheaper and you can have more data in it.

Well if you want a pocket size drive use FlashDisk the maximum is 32Gb. I dont have enough money so im only using 8GB. HardDrives is now on the way of extinction and there are new storage that will replace harddrives and its called "SolidState" well it cost alot than a regular drive but if you have money and always want better try it.

I do not have thought about buying a large size pen drive.I use 4 gb Transcend flash drive.
But I would recommend you to buy a new HDD as it will offer you more advantanges in storing your data.

I have heard about the sale of a 32 GB pen drive in the market.
I have not heard more than that as people then opt for external USB HDD.

External HDD may work as Pen drives to transfer your data.So if you afford then go for external HDD in place of pen drive.
