My latest tinkering project is done.
After upgrading my MBA from 64GB to 128GB (out of warranty anyway), I thought that instead of selling the 64GB for ridiculously little money it would make more sense to buy another 64GB blade and two SATA adapters for them.
So I dug around a bit on eBay and got a 64GB blade for ~€30 plus two adapters for ~€30, both including shipping.
Just threw them into my hack, created a RAID0 from them using Disk Utility and applied neilhart's guide, except that I used 10.7.4 and Chimera 1.10.
This RAID is way faster than the Intel 320 80GB SSD I used before (see attachments).
Nice side effect: Since they're original MBA SSDs, they have native TRIM support.
