My MBA got water in it and shorted. The SSD looks like it didn`t get any water. how can I get the data off the ssd easiest? thought about getting a hard drive ecloseure, but have only seen pata with bigger connctor (IDE i guess) not the zif (?) small one this is.

THANKS!!
 
you will need to purchase the appropriate external enclosure from ebay,

they will run you about $20 CAD

if you would tell me the revision mba i can tell you what type of enclosure you will need.

I have the first rev, 1,8ghz.

Are there any connectors available to fit into another box?
and could I put this SSD into my old Powerbook G4 with some adaptor?
 
manged to get the data out with a chear enclosure called unis (chinese brand). I took of the cable from the SSD and fit the cable included in the enclosure directly to the SSD.
 
MacModMachine- Do you know what type of adapter is required to do this with a rev B MBA SSD?

I would prefer straight to SATA, but at this point anything is fine (USB2, etc.)
