It's still SSD. Air is already limited by CPU power that bit lower SSD read & write speed doesn't matter really.
I still don't understand Air's position. It's a cheapest new Mac Apple's offering, but you get gimped CPU with 128gig SSD in 2019. CPU itself is great but the implementation is weird resulting in gimped and overheating performance. Air could have been a great performer if Apple put the heat pipe in it. Or they could have gone a totally different route, implementing custom lower CPU multiplier and go totally fanless and save more weight from there.
I guess I have to thank Apple for not making entry Air 4gig of ram.
