My MBA is giving me a startup blue screen now and it never gets out of it. Based on what I read, this seems to indicate that the hd is gone. I'm thinking about replacing it with a SSD HD. Can anyone please suggest some compatible ones or what parameters to look for? Thanks,
Helo!
I had the same problem.
My MBA rev A the HD died suddenly
So I bought another HD 80 but it died few months later too.
This HD 80GB from MBA first generation is really a piece of ****
So I was decided to replace with a SSD hard drive.
I read a lot, many reviews.. so after I decided to buy this model because I saw was the best (read and write speed)

I bought , changed myself (it's really easy) and no more problems.
I'm not a fan of upgrades. I prefer to change my laptop, but I did and I recommend.
The speed is amazing. All programs and boot is really quick.
After all I sold last week my MBA, and bought the new one because I couldn't install snow leopard on my Rev A because it got heat with the fans high every time. I spoke with a genius bar that told me that REV A won't support snow leopard because it is a 64bit OS. In fact Rev A does a magic to run snow leopard.
You can install but your computer will get hot really hot.
With Leopard on my Rev A I don't have problems.
So next year will debute Lion, so I won't miss this upgrade.
Because this I sold my Rev A, otherwise I would keept it. It's a great machine and I miss my backlit keyboard.
If you plan to use just to surf, word, excel , email, I recommend to change for this model of SSD.
I bought a 64SSD (200us), but my iTunes library and many big files I have in my
TimeCapsule 1T.
