Test: ADATA Nobility Series N004

Konklusion

Den er hurtig og meget lækker at se på! Her har ADATA ramt plet med designet og N004 er så alsidig at den både kan bruges som et ekstern såvel som et internt flash drev. Det er et produkt som giver dig en hurtig dataoverførelse og med en software-pakke der giver yderligere alsidighed.  Spørgsmålet ligger så i, om man vil have den liggende på sit bord og bruge den via USB 3.0 eller have den siddende i sin maskine med SATA II. Jeg synes at den er for pæn til at blive lukket inde i et kabinet, men hver har sin smag. 
 

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Det er den vel-kendte SATA II interface bundlet med den nye, hurtige USB 3.0 og dette mix giver brugeren rig mulighed for at benytte drevet under forskellige forhold. For at jeg virkelig skulle give top-karakter, ville jeg se en SATA-600 controller indbygget i drevet og derved give brugeren den ultimative hastighed.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 4
Der er ikke mere med end hvad du har brug for, men jeg kunne godt savne et SATA II kabel, bare for at reklamere med N004's 2 interface muligheder.

Design/Layout - 5
Jeg kan næsten ikke beskrive hvor lækkert dette drev er, og selvom at det kun kan være en subjektiv holding, er jeg sikker på at designet af N004 falder i god jord hos de fleste. Jeg har svært ved at forestille mig et pænere eller mere logisk design.

Software - 4
Software pakken virker som den skal, og giver brugeren mulighed for at anvende N004 til flere af hverdagens opgaver. Dog trækker jeg point fra ved programmet TurboHDD - hvis ikke jeg var i besiddelse af programmet TurboHDD fra NH03 artiklen, ville jeg aldrig havde opdaget det skjulte potentiale i N004 kædet sammen med TurboHDD. Der er en kæmpe ydelse at hente, ved at bruge dette program og det er en kæmpe fejl fra ADATA's side af, at de ikke reklamerer med programmet. Men det er super fedt at det så virker fortrinligt!

Ydelse - 4
Ydelsen er god og giver brugeren en hurtig, glidende oplevelse. Den slog min Kingston SSD, men desværre skal der ikke så meget til heller, og der findes hurtigere SSD'er derude.

Pris - 5
Prisen lyder på DKK 1499,- og her har vi virkelig et røverkøb. Det er ikke den hurtigste SSD derude, men som SSD er prisen mere end rimelig og da den også har indbygget USB 3.0, er det et fund til de penge.

UK summary

It is fast and attractive. ADATA has hit spot on when designing N004 and the device is so versatile, that you can use it externally as well as internally. It is a product which delivers a high speed data transfer, and comes included with a software bundle which improves it usability. The question for the end user is obivious - are you going to install N004 in your computer with SATA II or use it as a portable external drive with USB 3.0? I think that it is to stylish to be let into the dark, covered by a case. But this is totally up to you.

Innovation/Technology - 4
It is the well-known SATA II interface bundlet with the new, fast USB 3.0 and the mix between the two, gives the user a versatile usage of the drive. If I should award 5 points in this category I would like to see a SATA-600 controller under the hood, giving the user the ultimate transfer speed.

Bundle/Accessories - 4
They do not include anything else than what is necessary, but I would be glad to see a SATA II cable in the bundle, just as a advertisement of its versatile usage options.

Design/Layout - 5
It is very hard to describe the quality and design of N004, without using words as perfect, stylish, and so on. The fact of the matter is, that is very much a subjective opinion, but I believe that most of the people out there, will find N004's design appealing. I cannot think of a more logic and better looking design.

Software - 4
The software bundle is right in the ball park, and adds additional functions to the user of N004. Never the less, I am not giving a better score in this category, because of the lack of advertising TurboHDD with N004, when I found so much improvement when using the program. If I have not been reviewing the NH03 product from the same manufacturer, I would never have installed TurboHDD on my computer and therefore never have tried it on N004. It is a huge drawback for ADATA - but again - it works amazing!

Performance - 4
The performance is good and delivers information fast. It beat my Kingston SSD, but that was not a tough job and there are much faster SSD's out there.

Price - 5
The pricetag of DKK 1499,- is a bargain. It is not the fastest SSD out on the market, but when viewed upon as a SSD the price is more than fair, and when it includes USB 3.0, it really is a bargain!
