Runcore 128GB 1.8" SATA on T400s

[melvsee]

Tried getting it locally (Singapore) but was told it would take one month at X price.
Came online, did a few searches, ordered it from Ireland at 3/4 of X price and it arrived slightly over a week later.
Installation was a snap and it's been running great!

Was worried about the HDD password in new drives issue but luckily that didn't happen.

Now I'm looking forward to firmware upgrades for garbage collection.

ran a benchmark just to be sure of its performance.

Congratulations, the performance is good. When can I buy a T400 ?

Now that is a HUGE performance boost. What is it like using the computer now?

to be honest, i never used it much with the HDD. i bought the T400s with a HDD because the SSD version was out of stock and more or less immediately bought the runcore SSD to replace the HDD. but impression wise, it's really fast! applications load much faster than they used to on my old laptop with a HDD.

when is the new TRIM firmware out?
