Hello

I was just wondering how much you think the SSD from the rev B macbook air would be worth second hand considering the price difference apple is charging!

thanks :)

might be more as computer manufacturers seem to pass along ssd upgrades at cheaper prices than were we to get them stock due to volume discounts.

that being said, i most definitely expect to lose money on mine when selling next year to upgrade to a larger ssd due to the dramatically declining price of ssd drives.

as for its second hand value today, given that there are no suitable replacements for an mba id think as much or more than what apple charges.

yeah this an interesting point - how easy would it be to replace the SSD with a hard drive?

Is it just as simple task of getting the hard drive or would I need to get cables too?

also any idea where would be good to sell the SSD, preferably not ebay!! :)

Thanks!
