Are there SSD upgrades for the 2010 MBA's yet?

[Platypusman99]

I have searched this forum to check the status of SSD upgrades for the newest MBA's and so far I have not heard of any out there for sale yet or anyone who has upgraded their SSD.

Toshiba doesn't mention anything on their web site about the so called "blade" SSD they announced last November. I wonder if they cancelled the project for some reason.

Do any of you have the scoop? My 128 GB SSD is doing fine but I do plan to upgrade to a larger capacity at some point.

I'm going to upgrade my SSD in a year or two when the battery needs replacing. By then there should be some nice upgrade options.

mmm I thought the SSD is soldered on the board. How do you upgrade?

Nope, the RAM is soldered onto the board, not the SSD. The only thing about the SSD is that it doesn't come in its typical case.

The SSD card is a little bigger than the old RAM cards and is held into place with one screw.

Ouch! That is very pricey. The 4GB Air's finally hit the UK refurb store, £300 difference between 128GB and 256GB. Now I understand the big difference.

how are you going to clone the drive to install this? will this fit a regular ssd housing?

Looks like alot of work!

In two years time when the battery is knackered just buy a new Air.
