welcome to my unboxing of the adata
as102 series of USB flash drives this is
a USB 3 drive that is actually priced
not that badly compared to even USB 2 drives so it's USB 3 ready 2.0 Backward
Compatible that is important although they are all in theory USB 2.0 backwards
compatible I can tell you guys right now the usb3 drive that I normally use
doesn't necessarily work in some scenarios such as for example booting to
it from a usb2 port or a USB 3 port on an older motherboard so there you go if
they're saying it's USB 2.0 Backward Compatible I hope it also includes all
of that compatibility as well boosted speeds up to 100 megabytes per second
read and oh they don't actually rate the
uh oh okay oh this is the pro version of the drive so there's a non-pro drive pro
version of the drive that's not quite as fast so this is 45% faster is what
they're saying supports USB 3 specification with compatible with USB
2.0 hot plug and play and it comes with free Norton Internet Security uh 60-day
version Let pull to open let's see how easy their packaging is to open I am
sort of the expert on how easy packaging is to
open okay it was easy to open but not necessarily easy to open cleanly there
we go oh even is that even more languages inside or something what is
all this warranty statement oh that's kind of cool okay exclusive downloads at
adata dasg group.com or no adata
dash oh well um hm oh I understand so it's supposed
to rip along the perforations and then you're supposed to
fold it
down so be careful when you're opening it up otherwise you might not be able to
read all of the packaging inside it does have a lifetime warranty if you register
online and then there's all this stuff which
oops okay well we'll see if it still works after being dropped it probably
does online customer service aha adgroup
docomo download there you go so that's where you go so the casing is actually
fairly nice it's made of metal which is nice for uh for a USB drive these days
it's hard to find ones that are actually you know have some design that go into
them because they've become a bit of a commodity item it's got the little Pro
thing going on s102 16 gig USB 3 like I
said metal the cap is plastic though and the back is plastic that probably makes
them fit together a little bit better and then it is held on by the uh little
indents here well let's go ahead and fire it up let's see how long it takes
to copy a file to it oh wait my USB 3 test bench isn't plugged
in h okay give me a
minute so here we go guys we've got about one gig of data here and we are
going to copy it over to our test folder
and see how long it takes to copy a gig of data I think that's unrealistic but
uh yeah we're going to find out how long it actually takes I think it's probably
catching up to where it thinks it is right
now I'll let you guys do the
math there you go that's not too bad
that's nothing don't worry about that un
related oh there we go kind of picked up
at the end there guys I was starting to get pretty disappointed so thank you for
