A-DATA S592 128GB SSD Review

ATTO Disk Benchmark


The ATTO disk benchmark tests the drives read and write speeds using gradually larger size files. For these tests, the ATTO program was set to run from its smallest to largest value (.5KB to 8192KB) and the total length was set to 256MB. The test program then spits out an extrapolated performance figure in megabytes per second.

The older firmware is directly responsible for this drive’s lowered performance curve. In this case the differences are significant and unless A-Data gets on the ball damn quick…the hard sell they have on their hands is going to be even that much harder.


Write




Ouch. Cutting it slack for having an older firmware or not, these numbers are down right disappointing for an Indilinx Barefoot-equipped drive. We are not sure why A-Data didn’t at least update the firmware to 1.3 (as it has been out for darn near ever in SSD years) but its looking even grimmer for the S592 as time goes by.
