The main question here is:
Why doesn't Apple, who self-proclaims to build the best computers in the world, use cheaper, faster and widely-available SandForce SF-1200 chips instead of the ol' crap from Toshiba?![]()
Apologies if this question makes you roll your eyes![]()
but I'm relatively new to Macs. Am I correct in assuming that the OS is installed entirely on the SSD? By that I mean, if I were to upgrade the SSD, won't I have to reinstall the OS or run some sort of system restore? Is that process easy with the included USB key from the new MBA?

Bravo!
And you know Apple kind of botched it when a third party company has to step in so quickly and offer a 256GB SSD upgrade for the baby MacBook Air. (Apple was trying to be too cute with product segmentation.)

It takes Apple ~9 months to pigment an iPhone case white, and these guys come out with a SSD card to fit the Air in a week![...]
and just like that, apple has created yet another market. I guess the "MBA ssd" interface format/form factor is the de facto standard - lets see if dell/hp adopt. This could be interesting.

The photo shows that this is the SSD in the earlier 2.5" form factor, and not the new configuration in the MBA. Besides, the price dates from May 2010 ...
Photofast is very expensive.

Im waiting for OWC's offering, just spoke with them, it will be released momentarily
