ADATA S596 128GB JMicron JMF612 SSD Review

The ADATA S596 128GB SSD featuring a JMicron JMF612 controller has shown up on our doorstep for a test run. We've seen this controller before in other models and have a good idea what to expect but changes to the firmware could make a significant...

The ADATA S596 is a very capable SSD and one of the better performing JMicron drives we've tested. Having the flexibility of accessing data via the USB 2.0 interface gives it an edge over drives missing this feature.

Superb performance. No problems

Very fast and reliable drive. I installed this drive over a year ago and it has been a dream, no problems what so ever. I hesitated before buying because of all the mixed reviews with SSD drives in general, but it was a good choice. Getting an SSD is...

Died after a year

replaced with Plextor M3 Series PX-128M3 2.5" 128GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) while waiting on the RMA from Adata.

Worked fine when it was operational

It is pretty great for the price but...

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.

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...

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...

somewhat unreliable.

Bought this specifically because it claimed to be readyboost ready. To my dismay it fails at being readyboost capable.

i bought this as a boot drive for a new build. it installed the OS, and it worked at great until

i went to take it to my room from the office and when i tried to boot, the drive had failed. i reinstalled the OS and its worked fine since

Worked great for almost a year!

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.

Great speeds, decent price

Died after less than a year, I can only assume that's due to a poor manufacturing process

Fountain of youth for my old laptop

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,...

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...

Had it since 11/16/2010 and still running. I love this drive

Buy it, its absolutely worth it!

Quiet ; Fasttttt ; Made games, OS and software faster ; I have it on Athlon 64 x2, now I'm upgrading to a 4 core and I'm moving this drive to my new system

I paid $104.98 one year ago, now it's $99 I could have saved 5 dollars! haha
