The RunCore Pro IV is one of the fastest SSDs we’ve ever tested. Its excellent performance on our most important test—opening Photoshop under stress—shows that it is a great drive for anyone who does a lot of multitasking.

All things considered, the RunCore Pro IV is a hell of a drive that is able to cross over into several market segments; consumer, prosumer and enterprise. The Pro IV is fast, one of the fastest on the market, but that speed comes at a cost and that is really where our only issue sits.
