Source: Macbook-com If you find that the MacBook Air lacks connectors, John Maushammer has tried to discover those that Apple did not wire in the MacBook Air, and they are numerous. The Macbook Air Chipset is indeed capable of handling many more devices than those available to us. Of special interest would be USB ports and even a SATA port. He has already successfully located and tested 3 USB ports. These are 3 USB 1.0 ports on which he managed to plug in a USB drive, which mounted. He is now focussing on an an unused connector which he hopes will also be useful. He hopes to find the entirety of the missing ports, in particular the SATA that will open the door to all recent SSD discs and those still coming. Note that having already found additional USB ports he has already paved the way for an very important increase in storage by adding USB keys of 16 or 32 GB. The rate would be slower than that of a hard disk, or SSD, but it would be a very elegant way to be able to start an iTunes library much larger than what the machine currently allows. The dataspeed in this case is not as important as the storage itself, to be able to play the music. [translation by jeremy]
