Product Features
Technical Overview
The UE800 leverages USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology to achieve maximum sequential transfer rates of 1000 MB/s for both read and write operations. This performance level makes it suitable for 4K video editing, large database files, virtual machine images, and rapid system backups where traditional USB drives would create bottlenecks.
Its 128 GB capacity provides ample space for operating system installations, project archives, or portable software suites while maintaining the drive's compact form factor. The drive requires no external power or drivers, operating as a true plug-and-play device across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and other systems that support USB mass storage.
Key Product Advantages
The Elite UE800 stands out with its balanced combination of speed, durability, and practical features that address common portable storage challenges.

- Plug-and-play operation
Deployment / Use Cases
This flash drive excels in scenarios where both speed and reliability are critical. Creative professionals can edit high-resolution photos and videos directly from the drive without experiencing lag. IT administrators can use it for rapid operating system deployments or emergency recovery tools that benefit from fast read access.
For everyday business use, the UE800 serves as a secure portable workspace for financial models, presentation decks, and client documents. Students and educators can transfer large research datasets or multimedia projects between campus computers and personal devices with minimal transfer time.
Creative Workflow Acceleration
Edit 4K video footage, high-resolution RAW photos, or audio projects directly from the drive with performance approaching internal SSD speeds.
IT & System Administration
Create bootable drives for system diagnostics, recovery tools, or operating system installations that complete faster than with standard USB 3.0 drives.
Physical Profile
Measuring just 2.87 inches long, 0.84 inches wide, and 0.35 inches thick, the UE800 maintains an exceptionally slim profile that won't obstruct adjacent USB ports.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the actual transfer speed I can expect from this flash drive?
The Adata Elite UE800 delivers maximum sequential transfer speeds of 1000 MB/s for both reading and writing large files. Real-world performance will vary based on your host system's USB controller, file sizes, and drive formatting, but you can expect significantly faster transfers compared to USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 drives, especially with large media files or disk images.
Is this flash drive compatible with both USB Type C and traditional USB Type A ports?
This drive features a USB Type C connector. To use it with computers or devices that only have USB Type A ports, you will need a USB Type C to Type A adapter or cable. The drive itself does not include such an adapter, but many are available separately. It works natively with any device featuring a USB Type C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 or earlier standards.
How durable is the metal construction of the UE800 flash drive?
The all-metal housing provides substantial protection against physical impacts, crushing forces, and daily wear. Unlike plastic flash drives that can crack or break when dropped, the metal body maintains structural integrity. The integrated slide mechanism eliminates the weak point of a separate rotating cap, and the connector retracts fully into the housing when not in use for additional protection.
Can I use this flash drive with my smartphone or tablet?
Yes, the UE800 is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and other devices that support USB On-The-Go (OTG) and feature a USB Type C port. This includes many Android devices, newer iPads with USB-C connectors, and laptops with USB-C. You may need to check your specific device's documentation to confirm OTG support and may require a file manager app to access the drive's contents.
What is included in the 5-year limited warranty?
Adata provides a 5-year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. The warranty typically includes repair or replacement of the flash drive if it fails due to manufacturing issues. It does not cover physical damage from misuse, liquid exposure, or unauthorized modifications. Always retain your proof of purchase for warranty claims and register your product if required by the manufacturer.
How does the slide mechanism work, and is it reliable?
The UE800 features a capless slide mechanism where the USB Type C connector extends and retracts with a smooth sliding action. This design is more reliable than separate caps that can be lost and more durable than rotating mechanisms with moving hinges. The slide action has a positive detent in both extended and retracted positions, keeping the connector securely in place during use and protecting it when stored.
