ADATA Nobility N005 16 GB USB 3.0 Review

Value and Conclusion

  • The A-DATA Nobility N005 with 16GB capacity sells for just under 30 Euro
  • Good price / performance
  • Very good USB 3.0 read performance
  • Alright USB 3.0 write performance
  • Good USB 2.0 write performance
  • Sturdy slim construction
  • Available as 32 and 64 GB variants
  • Cap can be placed on rear end of devices
  • Slow USB 2.0 read performance
  • Write speed not as fast as advertised
  • Fairly long
  • Bulky packaging but no extras
The ADATA Nobility N005 clocks in at a respectable 30 Euro, which places it right in the fray of things. With the mainstream USB 3.0 flash drive market still evolving, the N005 offers very good read performance and adequate write speeds when using the new interface. With USB 2.0 the drive is by no means the fastest and is still beat by high-performance USB 2.0 drives, but still offers a very good write performance of around 24 MB/s with this interface. In a market segment where a few dollars can mean the difference in terms of price / performance the ADATA Nobility N005 series is not perfect - as I would like to have seen a bit better write performance with USB 3.0. Overall the drive does offer a good balance for the price point.
