RunCore Pro V MAX 240GB SSD Review

The RunCore Pro V MAX model that we are looking at today is RunCore's attempt to compete at the high-end. The MAX uses 25nm IMFT synchronous flash just like several other drives on the market. RunCore claims a maximum read speed of 560MB/s and a maximum write speed of 525MB/s. These are up slightly from the claimed performance for most products based on the SF-2281 controller with synchronous flash. The indicated IOPS numbers are 50K random read and 60K random write.
In the standard PCMark Vantage Test the RunCore Pro V MAX ran with the Intel 520 Series SSD and nearly broke into the 80K range.
In order to fully utilize SATA III you need a system with native SATA III support. P67, Z68, Z77 and X79 systems are preferred, but AMD has made advances in their newer SATA III systems as well. Source
