[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1804724, member: 97843"] Do you really need to have ALL 1tb of data on your MacBook Air(!) at all times? Try researching more efficient data management and external drives. That's what I would do...that's actually what I do with all computers. Pumping $400 for an SSD into a MBA that's probably not even worth that much is not a sound choice. And from my experience of manipulating sata controllers on Apple desktops/laptops, adapters are NOT reliable for a drive that's moving a lot of data. I fully support OWC products, as well as their support, but I would go with an external drive for anything that relates to media and documents. I have a Mac Pro and still keep its internal SSD stock with only OSX and programs. Everything else is stored externally. [/QUOTE]
