When it comes to SSD controllers, JMicron doesn’t have the best reputation. The first affordable, consumer focused SSDs were built using controllers from JMicron and set the industry back just as it was starting to take off. Those cacheless drives e...
Bottom line Off the record, I’ve stated on a few occasions that JMicron has the very best sales team in the SSD market. I guess that’s on the record, though, and since I said it I will have to explain it. JMicron is the only company that failed to deliver a qua...

TBA As it was the first to market with JMicron's JMF612 chipset earlier this year, ADATA has updated its S596 SSD with the more recent 616 controller chip and tacked on a fancy 'Turbo' suffix to the name to let us know it's, well, .The JMF616 build...
Bottom line We didn't expect the ADATA S596 Turbo to break any records, but it was surprisingly fast in the AS SSD tests, where SandForce's DuraWrite compression technology isn't a factor, even if the drive didn't handle the compressible data of ATTO especially well...

Bottom line 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...
