A Closer Look

A-DATA S701 Eee PC Edition


Taking a closer look at the flash device, the first attribute you will notice is the build quality. The metal alloy casing and rubberized surface give it a very rugged feel. This is the type of flash device which goes perfect on your key chain. Nonetheless, you should not drive over the stick with your car or drop it into any liquid as it is by no means that durable or water proof.


One side holds the black slider, with which you can extend the USB connector out of the casing. The other side features the same logo as the normal S701 with the addition of the Eee PC logo at the end.


Sliding the USB connector out of the case, it becomes apparent, that it is a normal USB connector, but without the metal frame around it. This means that you can connect the S701 upside down into the USB plug. Doing so will not harm your system or the flash device whatsoever. The serial number and the actual capacity is etched into the black USB plug itself.


To use the S701 with the Eee PC, simply slide out the USB connector and insert it into the port of your choice.

A-DATA SDHC Eee PC Edition


The special edition SDHC card ships in a thin, semi-transparent plastic protector. It is much larger than the card itself. It if did not had the rounded corners, you could probally fit two cards within this box.


The card is completely white, as is the label itself. It clearly mentions the capacity as well as the format SDHC. The Eee PC logo is also present here. The small text on the bottom reveals the fact that this is a Class 6 card, which means that it has a write performance of 6 MB/s on an empty card. The rear does not have any stickers or labels, only a serial number. When looked at from this side there is no visible difference between a normal SD Card and the SDHC variant.


Using the SDHC card with the Eee PC is just as easy as with the S701. Simply insert it into the card reader until it clicks. The great advantage is not only the color, but that you can just leave the card in the system and "forget it".
