256MB SSD upgrade for Air soon possible from PhotoFast

If this will work, it changes Air storage limitation.

Now I am seriously thinking of getting the 11"

"Photofast plans on offering 64GB / 128GB / 256GB SSD aftermarket upgrades based on the SandForce controller.

This gives 11.6" MacBook Air owners the option of upgrading to a maximum of 256GB -- a configuration not available from Apple.

The upgrade promises speeds of 250MB/s for sequential reads and writes, a notable increase from Apple's offerings which bench around 150-160MB/s for the same metric.

Overall performance improvements are said to be in the 30% range. In a particularly elegant twist, Photofast will allow you to convert your MacBook Air's existing SSD card into a USB storage device. This storage device then allows you to transfer your existing data over to your Mac."

I wonder how the 256 GB option on the 13" Air works. Is it a single 256 GB stick, or a (virtual) RAID of two 128 GB sticks?

And in the latter case, could you use two of these third-party sticks to put 512 GB into the 13" Air?

I really do not know an answer to your question.

Being a macaddict myself, I do check http://www.macrumors.com daily to find out what's new.

Do I need therapy?
