It has been half a year since that the concept of “Ultrabook” was proposed by Intel at Computex 2011. The concept was well-received by major brand vendors in hopes that Ultrabook can revive Notebook market demand, many of whom such as Lenovo, Samsung, Toshiba, Acer, Fujitsu, Asus, have launched Ultrabooks, or announced they are to launch one. With the expected major growth in Ultrabooks in the next few years, SSD indeed is given a great opportunity as it is one of the key components of Ultrabooks.
To seize the opportunity, RunCore, a leading supplier of high-performance solid-state drives has made its move and announced its Ultrabooks solution – 7mm Pro V Ultra SSD. The product is a Sandforce-based SSD, and it adopts stainless steel enclosure. With SATA 6Gbps interface it offers up to 525MB/s read and 525MB/s write, featuring an extreme write IOPS up to 75000.
One other selling point of RunCore Ultra SSD is the height of drive, 7mm is particularly noteworthy as most standard 2.5" drives are around 9mm of height. This means that the product can easily fit in ultrabooks, and with the super-performance, not to mention that RunCore SSD’s other features such as super-low power consumption, it is an ideal product for ultrabook users who seeks high-end performances.
