Q: MBA SD card max speed ?

Does the current MacBook air have it's sd card reader connected to the PCIe bus or are they still limited to 480Mbs (like my late 2010 MBA)?

On my late 2011, I get

Link Speed: 2.5 GT/s

So it must be faster than the 2010 models - and I would assume on the 2012's as well.

Sorry - MBP. Best to check in MBA, I think.
