Common problem by the looks of it https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4052266?start=0&tstart=0

APPLE SSD TS128E

Roughly 250/450 Write/Read

Edit: Forgot to mention, Write speed was around 360 or so before I began installing everything. It's still blazing fast, however.

This sounds like the system some SSDs have that if you stress-test them for a "long" amount of time, it will throttle in an attempt to preserve the quality of the cells. That throttle is usually left active for a long while.

Hopefully it's something similar to that.

Hmmm, maybe mine has done that since i installed Windows 7 via Parallels. Not very good if thats all it takes.

Have just received my Mid-2012 Macbook Air 13", 2.0Ghz i7/8Gb RAM/256GBSSD

System Information says: APPLE SSD SM256E - so Samsung, I assume?

My MBA 2012 has a Samsung 256 GB SSD. It is very fast, I have the i7 and it boots in 12 seconds.

For the OP, is the screenshot of the original post a 2011 MBA? I'm surprised the negotiated link speed is 3 Gbit instead of 6.

It looks as if the 128 GB SSD are Toshiba and 256 GB Samsung.

I've been following this thread since its inception.

Maybe this is the obvious observation, but it does seem like all the MBA 2012 64/128 SSDs are Toshiba, and all the 256/512 SSDs are Samsung.

Has anyone found an exception to this case? Seems that they've stopped mixing in Samsung SSDs in the 64/128 SSDs like they did in the MBA 2011 models.

I believe the Anandtech review mentioned this is the case.
