Apple’s use of their proprietary pentalobe screws should be the first clue! The new MBA SSD, as it seems, is not only incompatible with other similar ‘blade’ style SSDs but also, the new 2012 MBA cannot even be upgraded with a 2011 MBA SSD if you wanted to do a simple switch on upgrade. I have spoken freely about these things here and here but for now, I am going to start with the new Apple motto of ‘Not User Upgradable”. I was on the outside looking in and and am now on the inside looking out (seemingly behind bars) and must say that, as much as I have found a certain addiction to my Apple products, there have been times when I just wanted to introduce them to my 20 oz. In the short time that I have been an Apple enthusiast, I have to admit that they are a bit of an odd duck and, although they portray an image of ‘customer first’, the reality of it is nothing could be further from the truth. To speak of how things went, we are writing this report up on our new ‘OWC Charged’ MBA. This report will also carry things a step further by detailing our migration of the Aura Pro into our 2012 MBA, a system that we had successfully set up with Boot Camp as a dual Boot OS X Lion/Win 7 system. This SSD report will be a detailed analysis of the OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express 6G SSD, the first and only third party SSD compatible with the new 2012 MacBook Air.
