@jerryx2000 - Yes, however they are more readily available for the 2,1 models than the 1,1 models. We have the 2,1 models of SSD available from our website.
@mcbrucemon - We haven't found any for the SATA 1.8" drives yet. We do sell 1.8" enclosures for the PATA drives from the original Macbook airs though. I'm sure SATA ones will be available shortly.
@charlesrosaly yeah at a stupidly over priced and needing a mac technition to do out with it (but still using the same componments that are in the pc converters) lol
like there unbreakale macbook air pro with 1 usb port that wont even fit any full sized usb device or the geforce 9 graphics card that wont even run to near it full use.I did a hackintosh project where i put mac osx on my intel pc if. If i would have bought a mac of same specs it would have cost £1700 but only paid £400 for parts
I bought it purely cause of it size...being a student this makes a huge difference when I have to carry 2-4 textbooks at the same time. Also there's a lot of power in a small size. And I got one on ebay for $750...I wouldn't buy one new over a macbook pro though, but since I got a great one used, it was worth it!
The hard drive that you need to buy is "Samsung 1.8" HS082HB 80GB ZIF/LIF Hard Drive 8MB 5MM" The model number is "HS082HB." I actually did this repair on my Macbook Air. It took three tries to get the hard drive to work properly, but I got it working. The most important step is that there is a little black release on the connector to the hard drive which must be popped up before you can disconnect/reconnect it. Thank you for the video though!
Which hard drive on the market will be able to replace the one on macbook air? I remember Jobs briefly mentioned that they were iPod hard drives inside. 80GB is just not enough.
can u install a ssd in the 2008 air?

You can view our other videos for the procedure of hard drive removal for a standard Macbook. Some SSD drives will work. We sell them at our website.

Right now there isn't a lot out there in terms of replacement options. We hope to start carrying something soon enough though at our site.

High powered magnets, yes...a magnetized screwdriver, no.
PowerbookMedic 3 years ago
im not an expert, but i would guess using a magnetic screwdriver near a HDD isnt a good idea. Especially if you are trying to save the HDD
