 Welcome to my unboxing of the ADATA AS-102 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 USB 3 drive that I normally use doesn't necessarily work in some scenarios such as for example booting to it from a USB 2 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... Oh, okay. Oh, this is the pro version of the drive so there's a non 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 USB 2.0 hot plug and play and it comes with free Norton internet security. 60 day version. Let's 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, 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-group.com. Oh no, adata-... Oh, well, um... Hmm. 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 of this stuff which... Whoops. Okay, well we'll see if it still works after being dropped. It probably does. Online customer service. Aha! adata-group.com slash en slash exclusive underscore 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 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 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. The USB 3 test bench isn't plugged in. Hmm. 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 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. Unrelated. Oh, there we go. It kind of picked up at the end there guys. I was starting to get pretty disappointed.
