Use this guide to upgrade or replace the solid-state drive in a MacBook Air 11” Late 2010. This MacBook Air uses a proprietary storage drive connector, and is therefore not compatible with common M.2 drives without the use of an adapter.
Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. Then, either familiarize yourself with internet recovery or create a bootable external drive so you’ll be ready to install macOS onto your new drive and migrate your data to the new SSD.
Finally, we strongly recommend installing macOS 10.13 High Sierra (or a later macOS) before replacing the original SSD from your MacBook Air. Most new SSDs require updated storage drivers not found in versions of macOS prior to High Sierra.

Remove the following ten screws:

Two 8 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws

Eight 2.5 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both short sides of the battery connector upward to disconnect it from its socket on the logic board.
-
Bend the battery cable slightly away from the logic board so the connector will not accidentally contact its socket.

Remove the single 2.9 mm T5 Torx screw securing the SSD to the logic board.
So when i change my ssd in mac do i have to reinstall Mac OS
Correct, the SSD does not come with OS preinstalled. To install the OS you can completely clone your existing hard drive or you will need to create a bootable flash drive and format your SSD and create a partition in order to be able to install the OS.

-
Use a spudger to help lift the free end of the SSD just enough to grab it with your other hand.
-
Pull the drive straight out of its socket and remove it from the logic board.
I performed all the steps above and fitted a Transcend JetDrive 500 which was very easy however when I re-assembled and turned on all I get is a question mark in the middle of the screen, can you explain if I did anything wrong?

is there any difference between SSD for macbook air and macbook pro...??
is that possible that we can just run macbook air only HDD..?
Any chance of squeezing in an SSD any larger than 256 GB?
Just bought a late-2010 11" MBA off Amazon Marketplace, which was actually advertised as mid-2011. My plan was to upgrade it with a 1 TB SSD, which wouldn't have been a problem with the mid-2011 model. Seems this is not going to work with this one, right?
I recommend that one of the tools you obtain is a jeweler's loupe that mounts on your glasses. It makes things easier.

This is not correct. You need the pentalobe tool at this point.
