Much Zippier MacBook Air
January 11th 2011 Verified user
I have RevA Macbook Air, with std. hard disk. It was very slow changing users, logging in, rebooting, and starting big apps. Now with K3VLAR SSD it is about 4 times faster (or more) at everything that has to do with disk read/write. Well worth the $$. Installation was tricky, and the instructions on the manufacturer's website were minimal (but adequate) That is the reason for the 4 not 5 stars. They neglected to advise: disconnect battery first. I read others had problems if they did not do that. SSD comes with enclosure and USB cable so you can use your old HD as an external disk - BONUS. I used SuperDuper to back up my HD onto another external HD first, then used it again to put my stuff on to new SSD.
