Features

At first sight it appears as if the A-DATA T807 is shaped like a miniature white rubber glove with four digits (yes, Mickey Mouse and most Disney cartoon characters have only four digits). The design is not bad, but we think that it may not have a universal appeal. The white glove has a fisheye to attach a lanyard or the bundled accessories to add some bling.

But we soon found out that the glove is just a cover or cap, and the drive itself is encased in black rubber with the USB plug sticking out. It is considerably smaller than most USB Flash drives we have reviewed. It is so tiny that it will not cause any obstruction to adjacent ports.

To prevent the cap from getting lost, the design is such that the drive can be pulled out of the glove and its rear side can be lodged inside the glove. But you may end up blocking adjacent ports in this manner, especially if you are going to plug it into one of the rear USB ports.

As mentioned before, the drive is made of rubber and is remarkably resilient at handling bumps. The design is such that it is waterproof when in the storage position.
