I am seeking good quality images that run Atto with the same settings, and (preferrably though not necessarily) result in the same graph scale (0-100 horizontally) for easy comparison.

Just installed a 32Gb Runcore / NTFS / Uncompressed in WinXP Home. The hype "80/40 read/write" looks to be pretty close to true in my experience thus far.

System Specs:
Dell Mini 9
Kingston HyperX 2G
32G Runcore
XP Home SP3

Here is the first bench I ran after installing Windows on the new Runcore.



Now after hearing about Flashpoint I decided to give it a whirl.
Below is the bench for Flashpoint driver only, but it was still choppy so I uninstalled it shortly after this.
As you can see, Flashpoint makes a huge difference in write speed!



Due to the instability I experienced with the Flashpoint driver I decided to look around for other solutions.
I found the "Power Protection" write cache tweak using dskcache.exe.
As you can see it actually helped and hurt. But it did restore stability. No freezing.



Now Windows seemed perfectly stable and I had no freezing at all.
I installed the Beta 4 Patch 3 Flashpoint driver again.
As you can see the gains were even more significant with both mods in place.




This thing runs amazingly fast now. I do have the slower shutdown issue from Flashpoint but it only happens now and again.
The boot is faster, the overall use is faster, and internet seems faster too.
I hope this helps people who are on the fence about either modification. Thanks !

So it seems to me like RunCore is the way to go. Now all I need to decide is if I really need the 64GB RunCore over the 32GB version. The Mini 9 will definitely not be my MAIN computer ... so I'm thinking I don't really need 64GB unless I plan to dual boot OS'.

Could all the people with SuperTalent post if their drives are 15/40 or 40/80? Os should it just be assumed that they are 40/80?

If you look at the model number, the ones that end in GHDL are 40/15, and the ones ending in GFDL are 80/40

Thank you Roquer. I guess my noobness is showing through some.

Runcore 32 GB IV T-Style with and without Flashfire 0.99 on Windows 7 x32 RTM. Both are on an unaligned partition.
