    Price is too high for me and I haven't seen any benchmarks yet.

    First, there aren't many who are interested in getting an mSATA. Secondly, RunCore is an untested company. Most would prefer to spend their money on the Intel 310 which has been out for awhile and is known to be reliable. Plus, Intel is cheaper. There's nothing worse than spending $100-$300 and have it stop functioning in a year.

    That and retailers like Newegg and Amazon are a lot more reliable. Especially compared to ones that mislead customers by listing things still IN CHINA as being "in stock". Run away from retailers like that.
