It's kind of strange, Adata is a flash and ram company. Took me a minute to realize this is not an SSD, but a spinning disc. A little digging seems to indicate it's probably Seagate. I've not had good experiences with Seagate the last few years. They were formerly my main HDD brand at work and home. But too many failures. Most recently a seagate was the culprit in a disk array that went down during very moderate activity. Once the drive cooled down for an hour it came back up. A 2TB drive FFS!
But yeah, these are 5400rpm drives and every review says they are quite slow, and kind of fiddly.
nick_gamerAll of this dudes comments are shilling Adata lol. Pretending to be a customer talking about how fast, affordable, and good they are. Adata is definitely towards the lower end across the board, especially when it comes to this mediocre 5400rpm drive wrapped in a fancy case.
For a 5 years old product with $69 or $64, it's not worth it. Like others mentioned Amazon can be seen at about $70+. If this price $50, i will be get it. :)
Very old, very cheap drives - cant believe they are still trying to sell them.
I bought a 1tb blue model almost 10 years ago. It lasted maybe 50-100 uses before the 'proprietary' usb connection on the drive itself came loose, and has been almost impossible to establish, let alone maintain, a connection ever since.
Looking at the marketing on this drop, I feel like the case is what I'm paying for here. AFAICT I can get an appreciably bigger drive that probably performs just as well at any of these price points
I have several of these for a couple years now in 2TB, and love them. The provided cords are stiff and short, so it can be tricky to position them. But if you get a longer cord from your supplier of choice, you can just save the short ones for emergencies. All in all, an easy ‘buy’ from me on the actual drive. Price wise, I can’t comment being in Australia. It seems reasonable, but not amazing. Local prices adjusted from aud to usd are $60 USD for 1TB, $98 for 2TB, 4+ not available at my preferred vendor (umart.com.au)
