    16GB Runcore - Are these OK drives?

    I've read nothing but horror stories about the 64GB Runcores, but I haven't seen anythign about the 16 or 32GB drives.

    Are these a decent upgrade to the sluggish SSD in the 1030NR?

    From what I have read it seems that all of the 1.8" cased Runcore SSDs are problematic.

    There is question now about the NON-cased SSDs, and a few folks have gotten them and are reporting on what happens- so far, so good.

    Of course, they seem to be out of stock now.

    The end of the Runcore SSD thread is HERE.

    The last pages talk about the non-cased drives.

    I'm having a hard time reading through the Runcore thread because it's 90% OMG MY 64GB DRIVE DOESN'T WORK and there's not a centralized resource as to what the cased and noncased drives are and where to buy them.

    After reading about all the problems, I think RunCore is one company to avoid. There are some people who have gone through 3 different drives and none worked. The company rep who was here seems to have bailed, and lots of people still have issues.

    Admittedly, no one really mentions the 16GB since most wouldn't consider it an upgrade, but i suspect i may be prone to the same issues as the others...
