At the highest end, users can expect speeds of 260MB/s read and 210MB/s write.

While SSDs often struggle to differentiate themselves, the ADATA S596 Turbo does have a neat trick up its sleeve; it comes with a dual interface – your standard SATA II coupled with mini-USB – giving the drive quite a bit of flexibility to be used either inside or outside a host computer. The drive also ships with 3.5" rails for desktop PC mounting.
On the performance front, the latest JMicron controller (JMF616) and the 128MB cache give the S596 Turbo a 20% performance boost over the prior generation S596 SSD. ADATA is also promoting better stability and improved wear leveling over the prior edition. The drives also include a 3-year warranty.
