Samsung is probably the global leader when it comes to consumer electronics, and the Samsung Duo Plus might be the best pen drive in the market currently. Samsung claims that the UFS 3.1 technology used in the manufacturing of this pen drive allows data transfer rates in excess of 200 Mbps. This makes the Samsung Duo Plus one of the most powerful pen drives in the market currently. However, it is worth noting that Samsung claims that performance might vary by capacity. The pen drive also supports backward compatibility with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.

The Samsung Duo Plus is a two in one pen drive with both a USB Type-C and a USB Type-A port. This means that you can use it with your smartphones, tablets, and PC without buying any external connectors. If you are someone who travels a lot, then the Samsung Duo Plus might be a great choice for you because the company claims that it is shockproof, magnet proof, temperature proof, and X-Ray proof. This means that the data stored in your drive is safe, no matter what the conditions are.

Overall, the Samsung Duo Plus is by far one of the best pens drives money can buy. However, the reason why we have put it in the third spot is that it is a bit expensive, and even the base 32 GB variant costs a lot.

The dual compatibility pen drives that we have discussed till now all had a USB Type-C port in addition to a USB Type-A port. But what if your phone has a Micro USB port? This SanDisk Ultra Dual OTG pen drive is by far the best OTG pen drive for users who have a smartphone with a Micro USB port. The pen drive uses USB 3.0 technology for data transfer quite efficient and quick with transfer rates of up to 150 Mbps.

It would not be fair if we were compiling a list of the best pen drives in India, and not including a product from HP in the list. HP is a brand synonymous with high quality, and highly efficient products, and the HP Metal Housing USB 3.1 Flash Drive is no different. The HP metal Housing pen drive is built using USB 3.1 technology, which allows it to offer extremely fast data transfer rates. The unique push and pull design used on the pen drive is unique, and it is not something we have seen on other pen drives.

Overall, if you want a high-quality pen drive for your regular needs, and you want that HP tag on the product, you can go for this one blindly. The only reason why it is on the fifth spot is that it is a bit expensive when compared to other products that offer similar specifications.

All the dual connectivity pen drives that we have discussed till now were meant mainly for Android devices either with a Micro USB port or a USB Type-C port. But what if you are an iPhone user, and you do not want to purchase those connectors?

This Sandisk USB 3.1 pen drive is quite similar to the previous SanDisk pen drive we discussed above. The only notable difference is that the previous product featured a push-pull design whereas this product features a capless metal design. The pen drive is built on USB 3.1 technology, and Sandisk says that the drive has a maximum data transfer rate of 130 Mbps, which is definitely not that impressive. However, the build quality and the efficiency of the product is superior mainly because it carries the Sandisk brand tag.
