Great & many thanks!
No, the drive on the Macbook Air is integrated into the Motherboard
EDIT - link ois showing out of stock, but they also have a 7mm version and one with a transfer kit with similar prices. What's the difference?
Also, I already have a Crucial 256Mb M4 ... I can sell this on and buy the 512. Alternatively, is there still an issue with running 2x 256Mb M4's in RAID 0? I thought I read a while ago that running in RAID meant you couldn't use TRIM ... or something like that ...

No its not, its just not a SATA connection. There are replacement/upgrades available.
You serious? The MacBook Air came first and is better, some ultrabooks are more expensive than the Air.

Same situation and I think that Crucial is one of the few that does.
Macbook Air is the original and best Ultrabook.

Stop misguiding people with you're BS, if you don`t know any better, The macbook CANNOT be upgraded yourself and can be only upgraded if you send it in (Will cost postage and upgrade fees) Even then i have my doubts about having the option to send it in for an upgrade, i don`t think that option is available unless you buy that option with the macbook at purchase at an extra cost (aka upgrade option).

How about your do a bit of reading before coming out with wrong information? You CAN upgrade the Macbook Air, which was the topic of discussion. Everyone knows you cannot upgrade the Retina Macbook Pro as it is soldered to the board, but this was NEVER even questioned or discussed. I suggest an apology is in order.
Just in case you don't believe me:

nope, the original question was ""would this fit into a macbook air?"" I simply said it wont as its soldered
So this SSD being discussed would not fit in the macbook link you provided (2010 macbook) or the new 2012 ones (with retina or no retina).
The MacBook air uses blades (as per the video) and can be upgraded but blades are expensive.
This drive is a standard 2.5" drive which will fit a MacBook pro (and iMac with suitable adapter) but NOT the MacBook air.
