RunCore,
a firm known for its SSD solutions for both the enterprise environment and the
consumer market, has released one of the smallest SSDs with one of the biggest
capacities. This gives it almost the highest data density yet, although of
course it has trouble beating the densities found on mSATA SSDs, such as Mushkin's Atlas 480 GB mSATA SSD.
The SSDs
will come in sizes ranging from 32 GB to 512 GB; this is in a 1.8" format
for the Pro IV. It is just 70 x 52 x 5 mm in size, which makes it ideal as a
high-speed storage solution for smaller computers. They also use the 40-pin ZIF
interface.
The MLC
NAND flash takes care of the storage, and the SSDs have read and write speeds
of, respectively, 135 MB/s and 130 MB/s. Because of this, according to RunCore,
the SSDs have a lifetime of around 80 years if the users write up to 10 GB per
day. This is helped by the static and dynamic wear leveling algorithms.
Pricing for the
64 GB and 128 GB versions is at $139.99 and $269.99, respectively, with no word
yet on pricing for the remainder of the units. There is no word on availability
either. [Source]
