ADATA DashDrive Durable HD710 Portable HDD Review


Below we take a look at the hard drive itself along with the accessories included in the box.

The drive is carefully mounted inside a rubber and plastic shell with a carbon fibre effect on each side of the drive; this gives it a very likeable look whilst also giving it a robust feel.

The back is identical to the front of the drive with the exception of the labels, this symmetrical design enables the drive to absorb impact evenly.


The front of the box maintains a minimalist design offering pleasing aesthetics and the basic product information, such as capacity and interface speeds whilst the rear of the box provides more detailed information in a variety of languages.

The contents included in the box (along with the drive) are; An ADATA product catalogue showcasing the versatility of the company and the products they offer, a quick start installation booklet and the USB & Power cable combo.

  1. Nice review Ian! You’re a natural 😉

  2. The better man won, thats a great review. I entered as well, but congrats !

  3. +1 for a good review..

  4. There is a TOSHIBA MK505GSX internal HDD inside

  5. Bad review too much about the rubber but not going there but not enough about the product. Not buying; bad site bad specs…. not helping.

  6. I’ve bought this HD710 1TB yelow-black about three weeks ago – not too bad!!! Performance almost the same as Ian get, moreover recently I connect this HDD to TS-PDC3 adapter – I have to buy it because my mobo is quite old to have USB3.0&SATA3 ports, – so I easily obtain about 100-110MBps on CrystalMark/CrystalDiskMark… later I’ll test it on real loads: backups, copying, etc.
