RunCores always offered fast SSDs, but were not so sure its new 2.5-inch ProCore IV drives offer the right mix of price, performance, and storage for the target market -- sure, theyre fast, with up to 240MBps reads and 185MBps writes, but theyre also expensive, starting at $179 for 32GB and quickly ramping up to $599 for 128GB and a whopping $999 for 256GB. Thats a lot of scratch for the average laptop customer, and while the speed gains may be obvious, were not so sure the storage tradeoff seems worth it. That said, RunCores made it pretty easy to swap one of these puppies in: each drive includes a USB enclosure and cloning software thatll have you up and running at high speed in a jiff. Yeah, were on the fence -- check out a video demo after the break and tell us if you think its worth it.
