So Far so Great,
November 26, 2011 Shopsalot - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 64GB RunCore Pro IV 1.8" 5mm PATA ZIF Plus Solid State Disk SSD (Electronics)
I was a little disturbed by the low number of reviews on this item and also the low average score for this item.
That said, it looked like the best of a limited number of choices to upgrade my Sony TZ150 hdd from a spinner to an SSD.
The item arrived well packaged and included a 1.8" external usb case.
The instructions were "sufficient" and it was fairly clear how to connect everything up.
It took a while to swap the drives (due to the laptops minature size/complexity) however the imaging process was easy.
A couple of weeks in, the drive remains reliable and performance is great.
Im using the old mechanical hard drive in the external case that was included and thats a nice bonus.
So all in all a good item with very pleasing performance so far.

SSD 1.8" Drive by RunCore,

My netbook is now a pleasure to use with this solid state drive; I do not have to worry at all about moving around with the netbook and about hard drive head crashes. Boot times are faster, and the overall netbook experience is just so much better. Need more storage? Use a flash drive or an external hard drive. The OS and my necessary software use about 13GB out of the 64, so there is enough room for modest file keeping. Do not bother filling up your drive with all of your music! Just install your favorite tunes; they'll never stall or hang... or watch a non-stalling, non-hanging DVD movie from the hard drive when travelling (you do not want to carry around your external DVD drive, do you?)

Please do not buy this.,

I brought this SSD for my dell mini9.
It is much faster than the original one installed in mini9.
However, once it was suddenly broken, the BIOS in my laptop does not recognize the SSD, instead, it reads that "YATOPDONG BEARFOOT"
The reason I tell you "Do not buy runcore SSD" is that there is no way to receive a repair service.
they have website, but you could not contact with the number and email. Their company is in China.
Please do not buy this SSD. You can find many complains about Runcore in Google.
