You can enable TRIM yourself. I'm using 2x Apple SSD, by default the TRIM wasn't enable. I have to manually enable it. Neither I get TRIM on my other older Apple SSD. Strangely, maybe only on newer model you'll get TRIM enable by itself.

@ forger
1. IINM, OWC doesn't have resellers. so please get it directly 2. last time I asked, they wanted RM900 to replace the drive, cos it was out of warranty. at that price i'd disable the drive n use an external USB drive |

External USB drive doesn't necessary be Apple flavor. Most USB external DVD burner works in OSX. I personally tested Buffalo, Asus, Samsung.

@ BRY7 of course MBA Superdrive doesn't work, its mentioned on the website that it only works with certain newer Macs.
I've used 3rd party drives... no problems so far, USB & FW both. |

@RaplaJingga IIRC MBA's ram are not self-upgradable. Check your user manual and see if there is a section on upgrading rams..

QUOTE(RaplaJingga @ Jun 28 2011, 11:43 AM) the RAM is soldered to the motherboard, so no. if u want 4gb u have to opt for it when purchasing online. if u already bought it, then the only way is to sell ur MBA n buy a new one with 4gb |

When i boot up it take more than 30 sec Or most likely you have something eating up processor time during boot. Just check if you have installed anything else after that may affect your speed, such as the Steam client and telling it to load at startup. |
