I just saw these stats over at OSXDaily:
MacBook Air 2012 SSD: writes at 364MB/sec, reads at 461MB/sec
MacBook Air 2011 SSD: writes at 152MB/sec, reads at 145MB/sec
MacBook Air 2010 SSD: writes at 157MB/sec, reads at 188MB/sec
Apparently the performance increase is due to a supplier change from Samsung drives to Toshiba.
I own a 2011 model, and want to upgrade. Has anyone here done it? If so, was it easy? What drive did you pick, and has it massively improved the performance?

Just changing the SSD drive does that? doesn't the new Ivy Bridge chipset also help?

Very possibly, but the jump is 140% from 2011 to 2012, and from what I've read about the performance improvements on the CPU side I didn't think it would result in that sort of a jump... 50% sure, but 140%? Surely updated SSDs have something to do with it?
I'll keep reading....
