How benchmarksutra rates pen drives: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Pen Drive Score rates 14 pen drives sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 16 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 16 November 2026). We did not test these pen drives ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Pen Drive Score works.
What we rate
Stated read speed. Top read speed the maker states for the 64 GB size, on a log scale: 20 MB/s rates 0, 100 MB/s 54, 150 MB/s 67, 400 MB/s 100. Real speed depends on your port and files.
USB standard. USB standard the maker states: USB 3.2 Gen 2 rates 100, USB 3.0 / 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) 70, USB 2.0 20.
Plugs (USB-A and USB-C). Plugs on the drive: both USB-A and USB-C (for phones, tablets and new laptops) rate 100, USB-C only 60, USB-A only 50.
Warranty. Warranty the maker states: 5 years rates 100, 3 years 60, 2 years 40.
Price. Lowest in-stock price at our partner stores, against the cheapest 64 GB drive in the list.
Buyer profiles
What we checked
We read each maker's own page for the 64 GB drive: SanDisk's India product pages, Kingston's data sheets and Lexar's product pages. We rate the read speed the maker states for the 64 GB size (some makers quote a faster figure that only applies to bigger sizes, and we do not use it), the USB standard, the plugs and the warranty. Prices and buy links come from our partner stores (MD Computers, Computech and Vedant Computers), in-stock listings only, cheapest first. Where a maker does not state a rated item, that row scores zero; we never guess. Kingston states USB 3.2 Gen 1 for its Exodia drives but no MB/s figure, so their speed row scores zero.
One size, so prices compare fairly
Every drive here is the 64 GB version. That keeps the price row honest: a 128 GB drive is not set against a 64 GB one.
What we do not rate
Real copy speeds, slowdowns on big files, heat and how long the drive lasts need lab tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results. Write speed is left out because most makers do not state it. Security software and fingerprint locks are mentioned where the maker states them, but not scored.
Price vs score
What the score does not measure
Real copy speeds and write speeds.
Slowdowns on long transfers and heat.
How long the drive lasts.
What we left out, and why
Reason | Products |
|---|---|
HP's pen drives are made under licence; we found no HP or licensee page for the Indian part number, so there are no maker specs to score. | 2 |
We found no maker page that states the specs of this exact 64 GB drive, so there is nothing to score. | 2 |
Acer's own store lists the UM310 only in 256 GB and 1 TB sizes; we found no Acer page for the 64 GB drive. | 1 |
