  • The mSATA SSD unit appears to be assembled by Toshiba and is model number THNSNC064GMDJ.

  • There are six main chips on this custom board:

  • Four Toshiba TH58NVG7D7FBASB 16GB flash chips which make up the total 64GB.

  • Toshiba T6UG1XBG Solid State Drive controller.

  • Micron OKA17 D9HSJ DDR DRAM cache.

  • The new SSD is 2.45 mm thick compared to the platter-based 5.12 mm thickness of the old Air's drive. Being smaller in two of three dimensions definitely helps the new Air achieve a super-slim profile.

  • The SSD weighs in at a mere 10 grams, compared to the 45 grams of its spinning cousin.
