Ducati version is absurdly priced and does not really have any real performance benefit worth the premium. Yet another marketing gimmick, I guess.

@Sumesh,
This is like choosing Pulsar or a Ducati Bike. Both will give you same functionality, but one has superior design and parts.

Excuse my ignorance but I think that Ducati bikes give much more better performance than a Pulsar! Heck, my Karizma can take on Pulsar200 anyday(forget about the lower versions). I don’t know about Pulsar220 as I haven’t matched against it but it does look good on paper with 3bhp more than Karizma.
But yes I agree with it that the Ducati version of flash memory that Sandisk released sometime back isn’t that great to command such a premium. I think the premium is justified only because its limited edition(not sure, I think I read somewhere) & its pegged as a collector’s item for bike fans!

@Amit,
Well you have got it wrong, I didn’t mean performance nor I mentioned it anywhere. What I meant was same functionality, i.e to travel. This is only a collectors item similar to few other Ferrari labeled products.

Oh, ok. I thought that you were saying Pulsar & Ducati are just about same, hehe! My bad!

Design is fantastic! This has to be most beautiful flash drive I have seen. It alone justifies the price I think
