Most portable storage devices like external hard drives are not the best lookers around when it comes to design, but ADATA has a statement to make with their latest offering, the ADATA DashDrive HV610 USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. I guess that taking a glance at it, you would surely agree that this is a fashionable puzzle piece design that comes with its very own slide-out smart cover that adds to the overall convenience, considering how this is a novel method of storing the transmission cable when it is not in use.
When it comes to solid state drives, there are some names that you can just trust outright, and I believe that ADATA is one of them. They have certainly come up with their fair share of winners in the past, and this time around, with the
