this just raises the question of why dell decided to use this type of drive, besides the fact that it's the only company(that i know of) that uses half-mini pcie as an ssd, it also limits the size and speed of the ssd.

also how are the prices?]]>Apr 6th 2009 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/video-128gb-ssd-slotted-into-dells-inspiron-mini-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/video-128gb-ssd-slotted-into-dells-inspiron-mini-9/Apr 6th 2009 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/video-128gb-ssd-slotted-into-dells-inspiron-mini-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/video-128gb-ssd-slotted-into-dells-inspiron-mini-9/

That is not the same drive and if you read you will notice Runcore is fixing all the 1.8" drives and the vendor is sending 25% refunds, a T-Shirt or a full refund to all people effected by the connector issue.

If he was installing 16GB of RAM or a high-end video card I'd fully agree with your analogy.

The computer is literally 4-5 times as fast as stock and 20% faster than if you used the Normal Runcore 50MM PCI-e upgrade. Imagine if you could make a cheap Ford 4-5 times as fast and faster than a Ferrari? Wouldn't it be worth it even if it was the same price as the car?

Also you don't have to use the 128GB upgrade the Runcore 64GB is only $189.99 on eBay and these go down to 16GB.

Food for thought

Is there a miniPCI-E SSD that will work with *any* miniPCI-E slot an *any* laptop, and is also NOT USB based?

I thought I only had to worry about the dimensions. I've got a Dell Inspiron 1520, with two unused slots. I'd love one of these to boot an alternate OS to. I suppose a USB based card would work, but also be bottlenecked by the USB, right?]]>Apr 7th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/video-128gb-ssd-slotted-into-dells-inspiron-mini-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/video-128gb-ssd-slotted-into-dells-inspiron-mini-9/Apr 7th 2009 11:34AM
