RunCore has introduced a new line of 7mm SSDs at Computex 2012, the Pro VI. Coming in capacities ranging from 32GB to 512GB, these 2.5-inch JMicron-based SSDs are equipped with MLC NAND Flash memory chips, a SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, a 32MB of cache memory and capable of delivering read and write speeds of up to 550MB/s and 380MB/s, respectively. Unfortunately, there’s no word on pricing yet. [RunCore]
Not to be left out of the Computex party, RunCore has just unveiled a 7mm-thick Pro VI solid-state drive to give new Ultrabooks a swift kick. The company is aiming squarely at the sunnier side of mid-range SSDs through a speedy JMicron controller that hits 550MB/s in reads, and a less aggressive but still brisk 380MB/s for writes. The SATA 6Gbps drive doesn't have any special tricks up its sleeves, but there's no doubt that it fits just about any ultrabook category: capacities swing from a very modest 32GB to a 512GB drive meant to take over from ho-hum spinning disks. While RunCore's customer list isn't public material, we wouldn't be surprised if a lot of extra-thin notebooks wending their way out of southeast Asia this year carry the Pro VI inside.

RunCore has announced a new line of consumer-grade SSDs ‘Rocket Air’ which is designed specifically for ultrabooks and MacBook Air. Coming in both 120GB and 240GB sizes, these ultra-small and ultra-thin SSDs are packed with MLC NAND Flash memory chips, a SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, a built-in ECC function, a MTBF of 2 million hours and capable of delivering a maximum data transfer rate of over 500MB/s. Prices unannounced yet. [RunCore]
The RunCore InVincible SSD features style destruct buttons (green and red buttons) that allow you to protect sensitive data from third party access. Pressing green button enables you to erase your data and return the SSD back to its factory default settings. Pressing the red button allows you to physically destroy the solid state drive. The storage device offers up to 240Mbps read speed and up to 140Mbps write speed. No word on pricing at this time. Watch the video after the jump.
This one goes out to all the Bonds in the world. RunCore, a Chinese company specializing in the production of solid state drives, has cooked up a SATA II solution that should satisfy even the most guarded of privacy fanatics. Living up to its grandiose InVincible moniker, this aptly-named SSD's built to endure extreme temperatures ranging from -45 to 95 degrees Celsius (or -49 to 203 degrees Fahrenheit), read / write data at speeds up to 240Mbps / 140Mbps and protect your 1s and 0s from prying, less-than-reputable eyes. How so? Well, the drive's actual pièce de espionnite aiguë (that's fancy for paranoiac fail safe) incorporates a dual-button scheme for clearing away data. Users, much like Neo in ye 'ole Matrix, will have two colored choices to make: select the green button for "intelligent elimination" (aka overwriting of data) or opt for the "less subtle method" offered by the red button which applies a current to the NAND flash memory for actual physical destruction of your data. So, whether you're a high-ranking government official, a spy unlike us or just someone who can't help but look over his / her shoulder, rest assured your secrets can now be safely disposed of. Jump past the break to check out the outfit's informational video and its woefully out of sync audio track.

Fitting a truly quick solid-state drive into a small space isn't easy, and for that reason RunCore's new Mini DOM (Disk On Module) stands out from the crowd. It's billed as the first single-chip SSD to use a SATA interface (SATA II, to be exact), giving it that much more bandwidth than the pokey IDE and PATA DOMs of old while remaining under half the size of a regular mSATA drive. RunCore's own tests show it hitting about 113MB/s sequential reads and 47MB/s writes. Neither figure will knock the socks off even a mainstream budget SSD like Intel's SSD 330, but they're more than brisk enough for embedded gear. The drives can survive brutal conditions, too: an Industrial Grade trim level can survive temperatures as chilly as -40F and as scorching as 185F. So, the next time you pry open some military equipment and see one of these sitting inside, in three different formats and capacities from 8GB to 64GB, you'll know exactly what you're looking at.
