    The sticky contains years old information, while yes, we could answer it in the sticky if he asked, I don't think it's necessary to belittle someone's question...

    It depends on the generation of the MBA that you plan to get. If it's 1st generation, then you can only use ZIF drives, and the Samsung 64GB ZIF drive is the best. If it's 2nd generation, then you can only use micro-SATA drives, and the X18-M from Intel is the best.
    Also, are you comfortable with having only one USB port? The laptop doesn't have an optical drive, so if you plan on using an external DVD drive, then you can't use other USB devices, like a USB flash drive.
