How much faster is the Samsung "blade" SSD (a.k.a. the mSATA form factor that Apple introduced with the Air) than Toshiba's? According to Anandtech, the Samsung SM128C offers 260MB/s read speeds and 210MB/s write speeds, compared to the Toshiba TS128C's 210MB/s read speeds and 185MB/s write speeds.
If you're in the market for the Air, hopefully you'll get a Samsung SSD-equipped version, though you probably have no way of knowing until you bring the notebook home. Such is Apple's way.
