  • Yoink. There goes the proprietary solid state drive.

  • SSDs from MacBook Air models from top to bottom: 2012-11", 2013-11", and 2013-13".

  • It appears that the 2013 MacBook Air 11" uses the same PCIe-based SSD that we dug out of the 13" model. However, this particular drive is a SanDisk module, fitted with components from three different manufacturers:

  • SanDisk 05131 016G 16 GB NAND flash (four on each side, total of 8 x 16 GB = 128 GB)

  • Marvell 88SS9183 PCIe SSD controller

  • Samsung K4B2G1646E 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM
