These new SSDs are using the same controller we tested on the RunCore Pro IV 2.5" SATA II SSD.
That means that even if you have slower PATA bus you get big performance boost on real life use as these SSDs are designed to speed up random small file read and write speeds.

" Pro IV SSD line up will begin shipping throughout the month of August and will soon appear on www.RunCore.com and all online Authorized Reseller online shops for preorder. Retail pricing will be $179.99, $289.99, $499.99, and $899.99 respectively for 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB drives. "

Expect to see first test results really soon.
