My favorite Pendrive brands are Sandisk, Patriot and AData. Kingston is also a very good well known brand but I just tend to stick with those three generally. I do not recommend traditional brands such as Sony, HP, etc with pendrives. You'll often be disappointed as those companies typically repackage generic, low performing drives by other manufacturers and sell them, meanwhile the ones I mentioned are primarily in the flash memory business and have a large stake in it. As a result, companies like Sandisk endeavor for the utmost quality in customer experience with their product.
