The brushed aluminum chassis of the S596 Turbo is designed for fast heat dissipation, while bringing impressive elegant demeanor.



JMicron JMF616, the Next-generation Controller Chip
In addition to the DDR2 128M cache buffer, the S596 Turbo utilizes next-generation controller, providing read speed up to 260MB per second, while write speed up to 210MB/S, which is 20 % higher than its former model S596.

Wow, sounds like Jmicron learned from their earlier debacles. While I still think Sandforce is the way to go, this may be a slightly cheaper version of a controller for SSDs. Speeds are not as high as could be but damn they are fast.
