To test ADATA's claim of the drive being completely waterproof, I decided to put it through a simple test that involved the drive being submerged in a bowl of water for several minutes, however the drive would be moved every few seconds whilst in the bowl to ensure it could sustain being waterproof whilst being disrupted when submerged.
Just to prove that the drive was left in water for more than a few seconds, we showcase a video clip – below. [yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U6BHRT_Lqc&feature=youtu.be']
The drive worked perfectly fine after being submerged under water for a short time. The review was handled after this test.
Nice review Ian! You’re a natural 😉
The better man won, thats a great review. I entered as well, but congrats !
+1 for a good review..
There is a TOSHIBA MK505GSX internal HDD inside
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.
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.
