Can you try watching some video on hulu and see if it plays smooth on full screen? I was hoping the faster SSD will help the problem. Also see if it still runs ok after 10 minutes. THANKS! |

Yes. The better question, does the drive FEEL as fast as the benchmarks make it seem? Read speed is about 15% below the STEC, but the write speed is 300% better.. |

You can tell a difference for sure. Video is smooth, I don't get anymore chop on youtube, etc. I just tested hulu and its smooth as silk. The performance overall is just a lot more quick in general. I dont get the hangups I used to when running multiple apps at the same time, etc. One of my "performance tests" I checked after I had the new drive in was on the STEC SSD, when I would close FireFox and immediately try to open it back up I would get a popup stating that FireFox had not finished closing yet... that has gone away on the RunCore SSD. I did notice a bit of a pause (2 seconds) when trying to open FireFox while installing Office 2007 at the same time, so it's not 100% absent of hangups, but Office 2007 is a big install so I'll let it slide  Overall I can say that you will not be disappointed with this drive. |

On a side note... De La Hoya just got his ass wooped hardcore by Manny Pacquiao. They had to stop the fight it was so bad. I just wasted $60 dollars on that crap, haha Off to install OSX. |

Okay - This is good news as it means the rest of us should have ours soon (hopefully), and that the speed wasen't all hype. I have a 32gb Runcore I am waiting on, about the OSX... I have heard sooo much about it. How much Space does the OSX Install take up? Thanks again. |

Check the OSX section for guides on installing. It takes up as little as 5.5gb when slimmed down. I have all kinds of apps installed on mine and I'm still using less than half my 32gb drive. I ordered a 64gb runcore, I want life without limits.. hahaha.. |

Hmmm... these readings do not live up to the claims MDD is making. I hope the 64GB I have on order performs better. Scott- Quote:
