SanDisk and Samsung to Provide SSDs for New MacBook Air?

Lazard Capital analyst Danile Amir believes SanDisk and Samsung will be providing SSDs for the rumored MacBook Air.

Apple is expected to launch a redesigned notebook with SSD storage instead of traditional HDD storage at wednesday's press event.

SanDisk (SNDK) and Samsung will provide SSDs for the product, with 64-128 GB of storage, with a cost to Apple of $100-$200. He thinks SanDisk could sell 700,000-900,000 units to Apple in 2011, for incremental revenue of $70 million to $90 million. The Lazard analyst adds that the apparent Apple design win could be the "beginning of a longer-term partnership" between Apple and SanDisk.
