Finally a SSD to update the MacBook Air V1 ?

Apart from Apple very few manufacturers used this, and at the time when MacBook Air was released, almost all had already moved to SATA. This is the reason why we could never find for you a substitute for the original discs, except for the slow SSD 64 GB (compared to the current standards) or worse still, the feeble 80 GB of the…. iPod.
