There is at least one set of tests that show the new MBAs, both sizes, have slower SSDs than the previous models. Still faster than any SATA-based SSDs and with the $100 drop in price I guess that's not shocking, but it's still unfortunate. I hope Apple's purchase of that Isreali company will yield some NAND or NAND controller improvements soon.

I had a MBA with a SSD and it crapped out on me.
I wouldn't waste news like that on an internet forum; call the New York Times. This is front page news!
