I. General Description
RunCore Pro IV 1.8" PATA IDE SSD incorporates advanced flash controller and NAND
flash memory technology to deliver a state-of-the-art, non-volatile mass storage device. It
supports capacity from 32GByte to 128GByte. 1.8" IDE SSD contains the cache size of up
to 64MB with maximum transfer rate as high as 95MB/s. Furthermore, its characteristics
of low power consumption and anti-vibration are notable.
RunCore Pro IV 1.8" IDE SSD has standard 44-pin IDE/ATA interfaces. The product is
fully ATA-7 compliant and conform to the same mechanical and mounting requirements
as standard rotating disk drives, which supports all major operating systems such as
Windows9X/Me/NT/XP/CE/Vista/Windows7, MAC, Linux and Unix, Solaris, Vxworks. The
RunCore SSD is easy-to-install, drop-in replacements for standard IDE/ATA-compliant
hard disk drives (HDD). Therefore, it is an ideal storage device for commercial users’
mobile PC.
