The new DashDrive UE700 is the latest brainchild of ADATA. Using USB 3.0 technology, the UE700 was designed for faster transfer speed of stored data at 200MB/s read and 100MB/s write. This is sure to be one of the faster flash drives we have ever tested, probably even the fastest.

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.

Great drive reasonable price

Excellent Flash drive; Very fast Benchmarked at 192MB/s Read and 84MB/s Write

None yet

With USB 3.0 becoming more of a standard these days many companies are coming out with new USB 3.0

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

– None that I found

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

None come to mind

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

We've had a lot of USB flash drives pass through our offices and deep down I have a soft spot for them. They are small devices than can pack a punch in terms of capacity and speed and lately we've seen a whole host of different designs that are exciting that market segment just a little bit.

Most USB flash drives are now available in capacities up to 64 GB and sometimes larger. Many are also available with USB 3.0 speed and performance. The DashDrive Elite UE700 from ADATA embraces the enhanced bandwidth of the USB 3.0 interface to provide write speeds up to 100 MB per second and read...

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

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.
