Introduction

I would like to thank A-DATA for supplying the review sample. The company produces some very unique and useful memory products, ranging from a complete offering of notebook and desktop memory over memory cards in various shapes, sizes and speeds to USB storage in many flavors. A-DATA also has licenses to produce such memory devices with themes of Pirates of the Caribbean and Disney.

We have the pleasure to review the Nobility N702 today. It is available in three different colors:

Packaging

A-Data packages the Nobility USB Flash Drive in a black box, which has a small window. Through this opening the N702 can be viewed. The rear lists all the features of the memory device, but you will not find any apparent sticker to let you know what capacity it has. Upon closer inspection, you will find this piece of information on the side of the black cardboard box. There are certainly better locations for such important information.


To gain access to the device you need to pull the inner box out and then take off the clear pastic cover.


Inside the box you will also find a small manual, which let's you know how to extend the USB connector and how to apply the included ribbons. There are two of these strings inside the box, one is intended to be used as a keychain, while the other should be applied if you choose to wear the N702 as a necklace. That would certainly be a very unique way of carrying your storage device around.

A Closer Look

The Nobility N702 has a metal casing. It is not completely straight, but has diagonal folds which does give it that jewelry look. The black part is made of plastic and A-Data has chosen to print the company logo on the side, so it does not disturb the overall look of the device.


To extend the USB connector, you simply twist the black part of the flash drive 180 degrees. The connector itself is missing the metal enclosure, so you may plug it into your USB port upside down. Even if you do, that does not harm the N702 or the plug on your computer.


The two strings can easily be attached by sliding the metal ends into the groves of the black plastic part. Both hold quite well and seem to be sturdy enough. So you will not have to worry about them ripping apart.
