A-DATA T801

Mickey Mouse is one of the most recognized characters in history, but don't think A-DATA is only marketing the T801 to children; many adults love Disney too. A-DATA hold a license to manufacture and sell Disney products and is the only company I was able to find that is legally able to do so with flash drives. The T801 is available in Mickey, Minnie and Winnie the Pooh with 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 GB capacity.

Specifications and Features

Weighing in at only 9 oz the T801 is a little larger than most of the drives being looked at today, but this makes it a little easier for smaller, uncoordinated hands to master as their first thumb drive.

Packaging

The outer packaging is very playful and features Mickey throwing out candy.

The back side of the package lists the features and specifications.

The A-DATA T801

The T801 uses a base / cap configuration that may not be ideal for children since I as an adult lose most of the caps to my thumb drives. Still, the market is there and you can never go wrong with Mickey Mouse.

With the cap removed, we can see the data connector. The cap can be placed on the back of the drive for storage, but that makes attaching the drive to keys or other holders difficult.
