Perfect performance but for a limited period
May 23rd 2013 Verified user
The Runcore SSD is an improvement, but MTBF is not met. Two failing drives within 33 months. Runcore is not reliable on the long run. Package says 'More than 10 year's lifespan'

I highly recommend another brand.

HP Mini 1000 BIOS Limits

My HP Mini 1000 BIOS Limits its install.

I will use it as an external USB drive, instead. The performance as a USB drive is far better than any other drive I have used.

Just watch for any BIOS limitations before you order.

Great value

Great value. This was THE Upgrade for my laptop. Now it starts up much faster than with the old HDD and makes no sound as the old one did. Setup was straight forward, only downside was the included Acronis True Image SW, I've used better ones but it did the job it was supposed to.
