Remember that peppy aftermarket 256GB SSD upgrade from PhotoFast that
easily smoked (on paper anyway) the SSD found in Apple's latest
MacBook Air? It's been halted upon Apple's request before it ever went
on sale, similarly to those HyperMac batteries before it. 9to5Mac
first reported the news based on a source close to the company and we
just confirmed it directly with the PhotoFast GM2_SFV1_Air product
manager. The risk of losing access to Apple's product licensing
program was just too grave a threat to ignore. So, enjoy your 160MBps
max SSD transfer rate and 128GB top-end capacity MBA 11 owners, you'll
get that storage and 250MBps sequential read/write speed bump only
when Apple's good and ready to provide it themselves -- possibly
sooner, we're told, if PhotoFast is given the green light to start
sales after Toshiba's SSD modules (Apple's MBA partner) are available
for purchase.
