RunCore 64gb Pro IV Light 50mm mini-SATA PCI-e SSD in my eeepc 901

[gpanos85]

This SSD IS TOO SLOW.

[1walkgirl]

@gpanos85

No it is not :-)

[wwjoshdew]

You should check out "Soluto". I installed it and my boot time was a little over 3 minutes, and now it's less than 2. (I have a 5400 rpm. REALLY considering swapping this 250GB hdd, for a 64gb ssd because I really don't need that much space. i just browse the web and edit videos.

[shellite]

If you werent running a virus scanner on that poor little netbook it would be a lot faster :)

Takes me about 50 seconds to boot up win7, but I never really use that: what's nice is that I can set it to hibernate and that will only take 20sec. to turn off/on and go into windows. Very nice. I freakin' love this SSD.

[MRCAB]

what were the specs on that video file? Will it play 720p files; MKV?

Thanks

[1walkgirl]

Hello :-)

The video is 720 by 400!!

what does mkv mean?

:-)

[MRCAB]

@1walkgirl .mkv is a file extension, like .avi, that holds h.264 encoded video which is often used for HD video files. When I said '720p' I was referring to videos that are 1280x720. I was just curious how well they played with your Pro IV.

Actually, go to bigbuckbunny(dot)org and see if you can play any of the 1280x720 files that are marked "H.264" :-)

Thanks for the reply!

[1walkgirl]

I found them!, I will make a video from them playing soon! :-)

The 720 was okay, the 1080 wa sa bit chpooy :-(

[MRCAB]

@1walkgirl Thanks for that. I'm not all that concerned with the 1080p files, as I don't really have many files that big. I do have 720 files that I'd like to output to a TV though.

I did order the 32GB version of the same SSD, so I'm really looking forward to it!

hi 1walkgirl, I need check with you. did your runcore box said PATA not SATA? I do not understand that I received 50mm PATA not SATA. I was order for Runcore IV 50mm SATA for 901. But they give me Runcore IV 50mm PATA. Did it same happen on your box too?

[1walkgirl]

Hello! :-)

Oh no!,I think they did send you the wrong one!!!

This is what is written on the box:

RunCore Pro IV SAta 50mm mini PCIe solid state drive

RCP-IV-S5064-CE

That is written on the box!

I should contact them as soon as possible

when I was you!!

[cronosmachine]

this is crazy MDD charges 2 orders 1st order with $288.56 and other is $308.55 even same part number order. And first order came with PATA and other came with SATA. there's a different price between invoice no. 44419=$288.56 and invoice no.44505=$308.55 even i order same item part number which is Part#: RC3264BL-C. Differences take about $19.99. When i asked refund they can't bear charge of shipping. So i lost worth about $48.56. I really disappointed with MDD

[1walkgirl]

That is ineed not very nice! :-(

Did you also get the black plastic usb case with the ssd's?

$49 is alot of money! :-(

Oh well, I just hope you did receive all the things you do need!

because now you can really enjoy your 901!!

when you have more questions feel free to send me a PM!

:-)

[ArtemRomanov]

Awesome!

[1walkgirl]

Thanks! :-)

[cronosmachine]

ic... but is it require to pay extra money when item arrive? if my self no around what will happen? can any person of family member can receive the item?

...sorry this is my first time buy online :~(

[1walkgirl]

Hello :-)

It does depend if your country does want extra import tax over import stuff!

I had to pay €22,- extra importax over the total amount :-(

Every family member on that address can receive the package!, as it has to be signed for!

I do not think they will deliver at your neighbours or so :O

:-)

[cronosmachine]

I tried order this

RunCore 32GB Pro IV Light SATA 50MM SSD Bundle - Includes 64GB MyDigital Bulletproof PATA 70MM SSD for Asus 901

Part#: RC3264BL-C

But suddenly on sales order MDD put extra US$20.

Did happen to you as well?

[1walkgirl]

Hello! :-)

Yes, with me it was $22,-!, it is shipping costs!,

but it is super fast shipping!, I did order on friday, and got it on tuesday!!, it would be monday but I was not here otherwise it would even be one day less!

You did order a very good combo!!

But when you want to put XP on the 32 one you have to make a extra D partition!

[cronosmachine]

Where did you buy those?

[1walkgirl]

MDD!!

:-)

[cronosmachine]

hi so can say now u using RCP-IV-S5064-CE for your Primary SSD? and RCP-IV-S7032-C for your Secondary SSD?

[1walkgirl]

Hello :-)

I have the rcp-i-m7032-c pata in the secundairy and the RCP-IV-S5064-CE in the primairy!

The secundairy one is probably not avalable anymore, but the RCP-IV-S7032-C should work also!, even faster I think

:-)

[cronosmachine]

Did you using this model RCP-IV-S5064-CE for your Primary SSD? It is 50mm right on bottom PCB motherboard? (hard access). And you use other 32GB Runcore SSD on secondary? Can I know boths model part number please?

[1walkgirl]

Yes that is the one!, the tiny one!!:

RCP-IV-S5064-CE

The other one si an old runcore pata ssd with the 2 usb connectors, I do not know if they are still available

But it does seem this tiny RCP-IV-S5064-CE will work with all the new other runcores as it is a sata one!!

:-)

[cronosmachine]

hi 1walkgirl,

Can i confirm again with you...

So you did install this RunCore Pro IV Light 50mm mini-SATA PCI-e SSD for Asus Eee PC 901 for 32GB on primary mean on bottom PCB motherboard (very hard to access).

And other 32GB RunCore Pro IV Light 70mm mini-SATA PCI-e SSD for Asus Eee PC 901 which located on memory RAM access back hatch (easy access).

Can I get the model both RUNCORE of yours?

I'm also want to upgrade.

Are you located in asia?

[1walkgirl]

No, I am in Holland :D

the xp is on the 64gb tiny runcore, some things are on the bogger 32 runcore, but I have to change that, it is anoying

this is the part number from my old ssd:

rcp-i-m7032-c pata

:-)

[RuncoreVideos]

The stock 4GB Drive is SLC very fast (not faster than the Runcore) but very small. That is why boot up is nearly the same but if you had tried opening one of those video files from the secondary stock Asus MLC SSD from the OS it probably would have taken 5-10 seconds. Also running any new applications or Operating Systems from the SLC Drive is nearly impossible as there is no room and running applications from the secondary Asus drive is on the verge of useless.

Nice Vid

[1walkgirl]

That is why I wanted the 64 gb, lots of room available!

When I am wealthy again i want to upgrade the 32gb D to 64 or 128 gb! :O

[giammyzanna]

Install OS X on that!

[1walkgirl]

:O

I do like the xp rather well, I do not know OS X that well!

:-)

[giammyzanna]

Ok :)

(I hate windows)

[AnalogueJosh]

That runs really fast! quicker than my Samsung NC10 :)

I was thinking about buying an SSD for it, but they are just so expensive :P

You have a nice collection of backed-up movies on there :D very nice indeed.

[1walkgirl]

Thanks! :D

It does depend which ssd you need/want, there are 32 gb ones available from runcore for about 139 or so!!

Yeah, those silly movies, I left my laptop on one night and the day after they ust were on my laptop! :O

:-)
