Maxium Storage on a MBA

[Haarith :)]

I am considering to buy a MBA but i need something with large storage for all my HD movies... What is the maxium size hardrive/ssd that i can install by myself in there?

480 GB. Note that you can't put a standard-size hard drive into the new MBA, you have to buy the form factor sold by OWC.

Might as well get a MPB with that much money!

Dude! Why would you want to store video on a small device? If you want to go "All Apple" then get a Time Capsule and drop all your large files on that or plug in a USB hard drive to an Airport Base Station. If you don't care, then just get a cheap WiFi router and USB HDD.
If you want them so that you can have them on the road, then you can buy one of those WiFi HDDs from Seagate (I still don't trust Seagate) or if you are savvy, set up VNC and remotely access your home drives. That's how us people from 2012 do it.

One option I've used to carry media with me is using large SD cards that I can put in my MBA. You can pick up a 128GB SD for $150.

I have a NAS in my house that we store all of our movies on. I just hooked a SDCard reader to it and put the card in and then copy the movies I want and then stick it in my MBA. I've never had a problem watching movies and it doesn't affect battery life much at all.
