One may argue why portable HDD’s exist when we have high capacity thumb drives and low powered hard disks.
portable HDD’s fill a specific category where the user need something that has higher capacity of a traditional HDD along with the portability of thumbdrives,hence the rise of portable HDD’s.
As such we see a constant battle between performance and ergonomics.
the drive we reviewed today is one such example of mix of beauty and performance.
lets list out the Pro’s and Cons..shall we?
Pro’s
- Good performance across the boards.
- Compact size.
- Nice finish.
Cons’
- USB 3.0 Cable is a bit short.
- The outer side tends to catch a lot of finger prints.(yes,i am nit-picking).
- Backup button doesn’t work in all applications.
So all in all we have a drive with good performance and drop dead gorgeous look.its a must have if you love to show off your gadget.
From my side 3.5/5…a few points docked for functional reasons listed above.
A special thanks to ADATA for providing the sample and to my team for supporting me throughout the review.
until next time..
