RunCore Releases Pro IV SSDs

RunCore has a history of offering very fast SSDs. The company recently announced its latest solid-state drive, the new Pro IV SSD. While the new drive is certainly fast, that the speed also comes at a price. RunCore claims the Pro IV Solid State drives offer superior random read and random write speeds compared to the other main stream SSD on the market today. To back that claim up, this 2.5-inch drive can read at up to 240Mbps and write at up to 185Mbps.

Assuming you’re willing to shell out between $149 and $889 (depending on the model you choose), RunCore has made using the drive a breeze thanks to the included USB enclosure and cloning software that'll have you up and running in no time.  In fact, RunCore claims novice users should be ready to use the drive in as little as 10 to 20 minutes. The drive also comes with a free 15-day trial of Acronis True Image for PC and Super Duper for the Mac.

Expected street prices are as follows: $149.99 for a 32GB drive, $249.99 for a 64GB drive, $449.99 for a 128GB drive, and $889.99 for a 256GB drive. The drives will start shipping around May 15th; preorders will be accepted through many retailers.
