You can buy new ones - http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Air_2010

Or you can search eBay for a 2010 OEM drive.

I'm not sure if a 2011 drive is compatible with the 2010 Air. And I've also heard the OEM 256GB drive has chips on both sides, making it too thick to fit in the 11" Air.

Guess this isn't advised, but I'm going to link to an external forum for you to read up on the OWC (MacSales) SSD offering: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1459847

MacRumors guys are sometimes very helpful on Mac issues, and sometimes just rampant speculators. Hopefully QC issues have been fixed up. Good luck finding more information, and please post back when you do..

looking hard at this, just wish I know more about it, really would love to hear from people that have used it

I've got a 11" macbook air as well. Originally had the 64gb ssd and swapped it for a 128gb ssd I bought on eBay. IMO if you're fairly handy and can handle a screw driver the swap is very straight forward.
