Macbook Air with 1TB SSD

Does anybody know if a 1TB SSD from the newest Macbook Pro 13" fit into the newest Macbook Air?

I love my mackbook Air, but for my job as a photographer I need more space. I alos work with programs that build my pictutres and they already need about 150GB space as scratch disk.

So my 500 SSD Air is always on a limit and even on a production I have to always have a drive to store extra data/swap it from the macbook air.

This data is about 300GB per prduction.

So a 1TB Air would be just fine. But cant buy it at apple :-(

Does anybody know?

Then I buy a 13" 1TB and swap the drives.

I do not need a fast mashine, I got an iMac for the hard work at home.

Thank you,

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), SSD Upgrade

Pardon my massive ignorance, but would this have worked if you just took a little of the SSD board off the side with a dremel tool? I mean instead of cutting of the battery support?

Thanks

Or for that matter, a few minutes with a straight edge and an exacto knife?

IMHO Tampering with the SSD chip would be riskier than trimming the externals of the battery.

Thank you . I just looks like there is room to trim at the edge of the board. Computers are not my generation I am afraid.

Exactly. The tech guy made a grove in the plastic case of the battery. Everything has been working fine. I have sold this Air and moved on to Retina MacBook.

Yes, I have installed the 2TB OWC solution for Mac Pro and it works great. Super fast.
