It disables Apple sale OWC SDD for Macbook Air?

Other World Computing (OWC) announced the arrival of the new Mercury Aura last week Pro Express SSD drive for Apple MacBook Air 11″ and 13″ models from 2010. The new SSD has higher speed and capacity than Applem supplied drive. OWC supplies SSDs with capacities of 180GB, 240GB and 360GB. The drives are based on the SandForce controller and are equipped with a large number of other technologies to accelerate speed and performance. The disadvantage for most owners Macbook Air will probably be the price at which the company wants to sell the drives, which starts at $499 for the 180GB model and continues through $579 for the 240GB model to $1179 for the 360GB model, which is a price that easily beats the purchase price of a new MacBook Air 11″. However, what is most important in the entire text is the fact whether Apple production and sales will not stop!

• DuraWrite – extends the life of your Solid State Drive (SSD).

• Intelligent Block Management & Wear Leveling – Intelligent block management automatically distributes data evenly across the entire SSD.

• Intelligent Read Disturbance Management – eliminates the possibility of damage to written data.

• Intelligent "Recycling" – intelligently overwrites free disk space so that data is not damaged and the disk lasts as long as possible.

• RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) – protects data on the disk similarly to RAID.

• Best-in-Class ECC Protection – keeps data safe and ensures maximum disk life.

All these technologies make a given SSD really more powerful and better than the one it uses Apple at theirs Macbook Air, which of course Apple I don't like it because... Macbook Air is de facto the best option for the next update is to install a more powerful SSD disk. At a time when it will be Apple update the series Macbook Air It is expected that SSD disk prices will be much more favorable than now and Apple so they will be able to provide a new, more powerful model for the same price as now Macbook Air, without having to either increase the price or, on the other hand, expensively develop additional technologies. This is also, according to analysts, a fact why Apple stopped the sale of SSD drives from PhotoFast, which had previously announced the start of sales of 256GB SSD drives for Macbook AirHowever, these did not reach the market precisely because of the pressure Apple. We will see whether the company exerts similar pressure against OWC in the coming days. However, I personally believe that for the price OWC SSDs are not pro Apple not dangerous at all.
