You can indeed get a SSD in a Mac Air as an option. Does Apple treat those different in OSX? I'm not sure. I replaced the mechanical harddisk in my MacMini with a SSD about a year ago. It broke down last week. I don't think OSX is to blame, since I put the same model SSD in my Windows and FreeBSD machines at the same time (the FreeBSD box is always on and pretty busy), and no problems there yet. Except for the 'noatime' I didn't take any special precautions.
