RunCore Announces Massive SSDs for Netbooks

RunCore

RunCore is working on a new batch of SSDs for the netbook market, helping to alleviate the pain of slower, smaller hard drives on the diminuitive computers.

The SSDs are meant to replace hard disk drives, and range from 32 GB to 256 GB. The standard HDD is 160 GB, but some consumers may even downgrade in order to achieve the improved stability and durability of solid-state drives.

The Pro IV SSDs come in 1.8″, 2.5″, and PCI-E form factors. All sizes will come in SATA and PATA versions.

These new storage solutions are pretty expensive, running from $179.99 for a 32 GB drive to $899.99 for the 256 GB. However, RunCore hopes buyers won't be too bogged down by the price tag when choosing the faster, more durable drives.
