A-DATA S592 128GB SSD Review

Packaging and Accessories

Upon our first glance of the A-Data S592’s box we thought we had been sent a G. Skill Titan. As with the Titan the box the S592 comes in is done in a copper red and black motif with white lettering. All things considered, it is a good looking package that should appeal to buyers perusing store shelves.


The front of the box also boldly proclaims a 2 year warranty…which with the exception of the G.Skill Falcon is nothing to be overly proud of. Two years is more than adequate for most users but this can’t even begin to compare to Patriot’s industry-leading 10 year warranty.

The back of the box is a study in international languages as it hosts not one or two, but eleven languages, all of which give the absolute minimum information needed to make an informed decision. While we applaud A-Data’s multiculturalism we really wish they had provided more than a minimum amount of data.


When you open up the box this theme of bare minimum requirements seems to continue. We have absolutely no issues with manufactures using plastic clam shell holders as it does provide a good secure base of protection for such durable goods like SSDs. However, we do draw the line when the manufacture doesn’t even include a top layer of plastic. In a nutshell A-Data has gone for a plastic holder which only protects the SSD with a modicum of protection on the back and sides; not the top. The only thing stopping a pointed object from striking the top of the S592 is the thin cardboard exterior box.

If this SSD was like others we have reviewed in the past we wouldn’t harp on this so much as the metal casing of the SSD makes for a great last line of defense. Unfortunately, this SSD is made of a cheap plastic and a good hard strike can crack it.


As with darn near every SSD we have reviewed -with the exception of the Patriot Torqx- the list of accessories is on the short side. Basically you get a small “quick install” instruction pamphlet and that’s it. While other Indilinx SSDs have come with jumpers we are not going to harp on this missing item as we will get into that particular issue later.
