New MacBook Pro with Runcore SSD Blazing Fast

Xbench is an oooold and by now pretty useless benchmarking tool. GeekBench is the new thing, but it's pretty complicated to set up for just one test. It's more for a professional reviewer.

X-25M vs Runcore

spam

and the Intel X25-M is clearly still faster.

Yes I realize the X-25M is a little faster, I read this review prior to purchsing my runcore...http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/2753/the_raid_0_ssd_report_intel_vs_runcore/index3.html but then I read this review on endgadget on the runcore...http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/runcore-pro-iv-ssds-launched-tested-seem-pricey/ and I really wanted a 256GB SSD I got the Runcore Pro IV 256GB SSD for $699 and I could not even find a 256GB version of the X-25M the 160GB I think was running like $499 at the time so for me the extra space was the deciding factor I am happy with it as I have 32GB partitioned for Windows (bootcamp) and it boots Windows faster than any PC I have ever owned.
