Hi,

Not to come off as an asshole, but the 2013 Mac Air actually has an SSD. What's even more cool is that the SSDs used in the Mac Airs use a PCIe slot. Most SSDs now are still connected over SATA which is what almost all HDDs are connected too.

I am really excited that Apple went ahead and included a PCIe SSD card. Hopefully the rest of the industry will follow and we will all have smaller laptops pretty soon! PCIe slot SSDs are already used for very high performance tasks. For example this is using a PCIe slot and it's incredibly fast.
