ssd compatible for 1st gen MBA

[ansetou]

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,

I am quite happy with my Renice 128GB K3VLAR SSD in my rev A MacBook Air.

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.

I've been running snow leopard on a base 1.6 rev A air since it launched with no issues other than fan rev up when watching movies (youtube, etc).
