It's a long story but I have a SSD from a 2011 MacBook Air. I'd like to access the contents. Am I correct in believing that I can get an external enclosure (or preferably a simple adapter cable) to do this? Is the connection on the 2011 Macbook Air SSD a micro SATA? I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. Help would be appreciated.

It is not standard Msata. OWC sells what you want here.
 
The connector is not a micro-sata, but Apple's own propriety connector.
You can find a USB3 (backwards compatible with USB 2,0) enclosure here: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MAU3ENVOY/
If you're in Europe you'll find the same here: http://macupgrade.eu/catalog/owc-envoy-usb-3020-for-apple-macbook-air-2010-2011-ssd-p-846.html

I bought one for a mid-2012 MacBook Air and it's working perfectly.


Is this true for Late 2010 MBA as well? It seems that it is mSATA (micro Sata) in this.
Do you know?
