Macbook air ssd

After reading about the two kinds of ssd's that apple put in the macbook, the ts128c made by toshiba, and the sm128c apparently made by samsung, the samsung drive appears to be faster, more consistent with the newer ssd speeds. My macbook air came with the ts128c, does the read/write speed increase make a noticeable difference. i believe the read/write speeds were 210/175 of the ts and 260/210 of the sm. I'm kinda new to ssd's, and if the speeds aren't that different I would bother exchanging.

 

You absolutely will not notice the difference from this slight difference in sequential performance. The random performance is actually more important in which the Toshiba is actually faster than the Samsung.

I had a 13/256 Air with both Samsung display and SSD. That particular laptop had a very unevenly lit section on the bottom of the screen. I exchanged it for a 13/128 and ended with a LG display and Toshiba SSD. The LG display is much better and I noticed absolutely no difference in performance in everyday use. I ran xbench and it confirmed that the Toshiba has lower sequential but higher random performance.

If your display is fine do not exchange it. You might end up with a less than perfect display.

 

Also, how do i know which display do I have?

 

Apps > Utilities > ColorSync application.
Displays > Color LCDs.
On the right, open the factory/current profile (they are both the same anyway) and scroll to "mmod" where you will find codes specifying the LCD manufacturer.

 

Manufacturer- 00000610
Model- 00009CF0

I've searched, but couldn't link it to any manufacturer, any idea what kind of display i have? Thanks.

 

Open terminal and run this without the quotes "ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6"

If it returns LP133WP1 it's the LG, if it's LTHxxxx it's Samsung. Don't read too much into this. In my experience it's a luck of the draw, you can get a flawed or perfect display from either make. My current LG display is beautiful.
