ADATA’s feather-light aluminum S596 Turbo SSD contains both SATA II and a mini-USB 2.0 dual interface, providing higher convenience and flexibility as either a portable storage device or internal disk drive. In addition to the dual interface, by utilizing a high-end controller chip, as well as cutting-edge flash memory with 128MB DDR2 SDRAM, the ADATA S596 Turbo SSD achieves ultra-fast access and transferring performance with a read speed of up to 260 MB/s and write throughput speed of up to 210 MB/s. Combined with Windows 7, the S596 Turbo SSD also shortens boot-up time to only 20 seconds, a speed you could only imagine.

SSD Storage Technology Unlike traditional hard disk drives, SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly reliable storage solution that also offers faster application loading and system responsiveness. And for laptops and netbooks, the lower power needs of SSDs translate to extended battery life. Higher performance with more durability means you can be truly mobile with confidence.
A Major Upgrade in Performance In addition to its 128MB DDR2 SDRAM, the ADATA S596 Turbo SSD utilizes the next-generation controller, providing a read speed of up to 260 MB/s with a 120 MB/s write speed (64GB), which is 20% higher than its predecessor and stands out among its competitors.
Solid performance static wear-leveling & Trim support The ADATA S596 Turbo’s firmware supports Windows 7 TRIM command, which is reported to shorten boot-up time, and enhances write throughput efficiency. Armed with a new controller, the S596 Turbo SSD is even more stable, eliminating sudden standstills that might occur during data transmission. The S596 Turbo SSD also employs static wear-leveling technology, remarkably extending its lifespan.
Dual Interfaces, Flexible Usage The ADATA S596 Turbo equips SATA II and mini-USB dual interfaces for greater convenience and flexibility. The SSD can be used either as an external portable storage, or as an installed disk in laptop. Furthermore, with a 3.5" converter bracket, the S596 Turbo can be installed in desktop PC.

DigitAl3x 3/15/2012 11:23:20 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5VM booting Pros: So I needed a reiliable fast drive with a cell controller to use for hosting HyperV inside an hp ProLiant dl360 g5 server. I setup HyperV on this usb drive and plugged it in to the internal port has been running for over a month now without any problems so it's working great. Cons: So fare only used it for a month, I was hoping to find a drive that would be even smaller but can't complain since the price is right 120. Other Thoughts: I hope to get at least 3 years of use out of this drive. I didn't need 64GB to host HyperV but I tried serveral other brands mostly 2 corsair and couldn't get them to boot in under 2 hours I think it's something to do with the cell controller.

I installed this drive over a year ago and it has been a dream, no problems what so ever.

Rei Hino 2/16/2012 10:47:33 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Died after a year Pros: Worked fine when it was operational. Cons: died just a lil after a year, the sata port seems to have died. Could access the data Partially though the USB port, witch could nor delete files, partion or format. Although as it was meant to be a boot drive it was dead.

2forjuan 2/1/2012 7:06:10 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5It is pretty great for the price but... Pros: It is fast. I am using this as my OS drive, couple work programs and BF3 and Skyrim. I love this SSD and Adata. The bracket is very nice color... to bad I can't use it in my setup. Everything runs at great speed. Great for a OS drive so I don't need to use my storage drive often unless I am digging for something. Sadly I do have issues with this SSD Cons: While I am going to buy a 125 or 250GB SSD. I make think twice about buying Adata. I have updated, re formatted, restored, changed the BIOS boot for this over 50 times, repaired windows with this drive only connected and changed windows to recognize this as the main hard drive. Still if I leave my computer alone for a while it will shut down the OS and I cannot get it back with out rebooting. Adata support was going to email me info about how to fix this but twice so far they have failed to send the send button or something. Other Thoughts: While I love their mirco disks for my Nooktablet and phone. I am unsure if I want them as my OS drive again. Maybe it will do me better if it can cache my other storage drives.

Darkfiber 1/11/2012 9:15:49 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Worked great for almost a year! Pros: Great speeds, decent price. Cons: Died after less than a year, I can only assume that's due to a poor manufacturing process. Other Thoughts: When it works, it works great. But if you're planning to use it a lot, then don't expect it to last years, more like 1 year. Manufacturer Response: Dear Customer, We apologize for the difficulties you had with our product.

Skipper 12/20/2011 3:55:27 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Fountain of youth for my old laptop Pros: My five-year-old HP laptop really perked up when I installed this puppy and it has run with no problems for ten months. It now boots in 25 seconds and shuts down in less than 10 seconds. Every disk-based action is much faster - virus scans, disk cleanup, etc. I did a clean install from the Win7 OS disk and shut off defragmenter. Never had a BSOD or any other bad experiences since the installation. Been perfect. Cons: none Other Thoughts: This Adata S596 turbo is not the fastest SSD you can find, but it may be one of the more reliable. Package includes a mount for installing in a desktop 3.5" setup. I found, also, that I have lots of my stuff in the cloud (like my itunes music, photos, letters, etc.) so I don't need no stinkin' 360GB HD, Señor! I still have around 20GB free. I'd buy another from Adata. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
