This USB flash drive does not work and appearing as an empty disk drive, also the Disk Management reports "No Media" with 0 bytes size; this mostly happens due to poor controller or cheap memory. Not that I used it extensively, max 40-50 times in last 3 years.

If you have been around APH Networks for a while, you will notice we frequently talk about our history. Why do we like to talk about our history? Is it because, as Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana puts it, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"?

The USB flash drive is a curious thing; not only does it store all of your data on the go, but the small size and many permutations of the humble flash drive also serve as a hint to someone's personality.

Elegant, durable design; Speedy USB 3.0 performance.

Performance lags (slightly) behind best in category

We're never short on interesting new gadgets here in the HEXUS labs, but despite living and breathing all-things cutting edge, you know what we really appreciate? A well-made USB 3.0 flash drive.

I'm getting great speeds from this flash drive at around this is the fasted flash drive I've ever owned. I'm quite happy with the price, read and write speeds. Read speeds are around 185mb/s – 190mb/s write speeds are around 40mb/s – 50mb/s. The drive is quite reliable for storing data.

Elite and portable, but does it have the performance? We test the latest flash drive from ADATA.

The ADATA UE700 is great for accessing and viewing content, but terrible for running applications or an operating system.

The excellent read speeds mean that accessing content on the drive is very fast

The poor write speeds mean that it takes longer to transfer data to this drive

Same as another Adata USB model, it does not work with my Lenovo and Asus front USB slots. Either can't detect or system crash. But it works fine on rear direct USB slots.

Value; Speed; Nice looking

Doesn't work with some PCs

Portable storage is available in many different formats from external hard drives, mobile phones and even optical disks. Of the many options available there is one format stands above the rest and has quickly become de facto standard in portable storage called Flash.

Stylish Aluminum Shell; USB 3.0 Interface; Retractable USB Dongle; Blue Activity Light

– Very fast; – Sleek design; – No extra unneeded software; – Key fob included

– None that I found
