I wonder what is the model of ssd in 2011 MBA.
If I can get it, can I use in 2010 MBA?

I'm waiting the review of disassemble 2011 MBA.

Um, I'm pretty sure that the SSD component is soldered onto the logic board of both the 2010 and 2011 models.

Negatory. The 2010's was replaceable.

Anybody know if the 2011's are soldered in or not?

Other World Computing sells a 256Gb and 500Gb version for the 2010 MBA.

The 2010 SSD is on a removable board. I would be shocked if the 2011 one was any different.

Me too. But the connection method could be changed.
So I worried that.
