Drives Specs and Pictures
The box itself is quite stylish. It offers up a nice looking picture of the drive itself on a white background that gives a very professional look to the packaging. Looking over the back of the box it is full of various specifications of the drive itself. Diving into the box itself you get a pretty basic set of accessories. A plastic case, a USB3.0 cable and a user manual. Aside from that there is a bit of software on the drive itself, but don’t expect a CD full of software or anything else at all.

The HD720 comes in as a 500gb drive. Unfortunately there are no larger drives available so if you need more than 500gb it might be time to look elsewhere.
One very interesting thing I found was a complete lack of any sort of performance figures on the ADATA website. We will definately be putting up our own performance figures by the end of the review to see what kind of hard drive is under the hood.
There is a very limited amount of software pre-installed on the drive. ADATA also offers up a few utilities and programs on the ADATA website if you decide that using the drive for storage is not enough and you could use a few extra utilities. This is very much appreciated and gives users a chance to have extra utilties without forcing them on everyone that buys a drive.
