Which kind of hard disk is in a Mac book air? I know it's a solid state. But hitachi or Toshiba? I need to buy the correct zif/ide adaptor
Thanks  

Use macquistion from black bag....works great.

You should look into what model MBA you have. Older MBA's use ZIF and the newer MBA's use LIF sockets.  

Thanks for answers, I will look at the serial. Actually I can buy macquisition, I am waiting money from italian police since 2009...  

your best bet is macquisition as recommended earlier

each generation of mba has a different hard drive connector (i think), and its not worth the effort trying to keep up with the different converters.
Macquisiton is a bit pricey (1000 for LE, 1200 for the rest), but in my opinion its worth the expense.

It allows you to boot into a live cd and take an image quickly and easily.  

yet again I shall mention NBCaine

no need for anything other than a USB drive to dd the image of NBCaine to......

did I mention, it's free
