DeBilbao's recent review of the MacBook Air raised some interesting disk speed results. Specifically, he is getting read and write speeds about 12-20% faster than what the rest of us are seeing.
He downloaded Aja System Test (http://www.aja.com/products/software/) and ran the disk test with a 4GB file at the 1920x1080 and 10 bit video frame setting. Most of us are getting write speeds around 184 MB/s and read speeds of about 208 MB/s. He's getting 207 MB/s and 250 MB/s, respectively.
I'm wondering if Apple has made a running change to the MacBook Air (Rev D). I propose an informal survey. First, what are your read/write speeds running this same test? Second, when did you purchase your MacBook Air? Third, what is your Apple SSD revision number?
I'll start:
Read: 208 MB/s
Write: 184.3 MB/s
