Introduction
Solid State Drives (SSD’s) define a great deal of today’s computing power. For more serious computer users, conventional hard disk drives (HDD’s) are mere storage devices, if possible tucked away in a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) in the closet. The advantages of SDD’s? Zero noise, like USB-sticks; low power consumption; extreme reading and writing speeds. What’s more to want? Well, what we always want in this business: Even more speed, even higher numbers. Runcore, still working its way up in Europe, has sent me one of their mSATA SSD’s, which is supposed to make laptop users’ dreams come true. Let’s take a look, shall we?
