> The 2011 Macbook Air had a 1.8" PATA ZIF hard drive.

I.e. standard, high volume drive used in iPods and other small devices

It doesn't help your argument that the only device you mention by name is also built by Apple.

A quick search shows PATA ZIF drives were also used in Thinkpads, Dell / HP / Acer / Asus laptops, and other portables like the iRiver. Replacement drives for that model of Macbook Air are available, doesn't seem like it is proprietary tech at all.
