Sandisk releasing 60,120,240GB SSDs that are MBA compatible (SATA, 1.8", 5mm)

i would argue the opposite. almost no one is releasing the newer versions of SSDs (with the faster controllers) in PATA-ZIF. Only time will tell if we can find a SATA-LIF solution, but the faster Sandisk SSDs are definitely 5mm and definitely not PATA-ZIF.

Yes, this one is correct.

PATA-ZIF is done.

However, I highly doubt we'll see SATA-LIF solution because MBA is currently the only vendor with this in their ultraportable. Not enough demand.

At least the PATA-ZIF solution was more common.

fits this 128gb ssd (PQI's 1.8”microSATA SSD S518) in the mba rev b? http://www.pqi.com.tw/product.asp?oid=201&cate1=201
it has a "micro SATA"-connection...
This german mac-site says, it fits http://www.macnews.de/news/113958.html

Yeah.

I hope.

I agree that no one with the newer versions will invest in pata-zif.

However, at the same token, I don't think samsung/intel will invest in SATA-LIF, considering the fact that no one uses it except for Apple's macbook air revision b.

Pata-Zif was used by other netbooks.

I don't think samsung/intel will see it as a market. We'll probably get a crappy vendor do it, like Mitron.

edit: I have split personality disorder. lol

microSATA is different.

It's what most netbooks use. It's what Apple should have used.

That's LIF. It's a totally new standard that Apple only has. Why? I am not sure.

shi.t! that's what I assumed
If we need more space, we'll need to buy mba rev. c...
