Storage 2.5" SATA or MSATA?

Anyone get a glimpse of the internal storage?

You know, I thought that the flash drive was soldered into the logic board, but from looking at the picture on the Apple store, you do see a small connector bridge between the flash drive PCB and the logic board. I think you might be right on the mSATA connection. That is promising for possible upgrades/replacements later.

The MacBook Air uses a custom connector that is specific for that product and different from mSATA. Expect to only be able to upgrade using an OWC SSD (though going from a 256GB to anything will be pricey).

From what I could see in the keynote video the SSD Connector is the same as for the MacBook Air. Although there might be a change from the 2011 to the 2012, since the new models all support 5 Gb/s transfer rate.
