Well, I updated the 8GB SSD in my Asus 900A with a 64GB. I had two 
choices, a slower Patriot for $96, or a Runcore, for $178... Yeah, would 
nice to have it faster, but... not at double the price. I would "much" 
rather have a 1TB device that I could throw at a wall without breaking 
it, but.. we just don't have it yet. ;) lol
