Just a note there is a LIF usb enclosure. It's the closest to an adapter I've found, and acquiring a USB drive is simple enough.

I had problems with Raptor seeing the 128 GB SSD drive on the MacBookAir ( new model with 2 usb ports). I used DEFT and it was able to see the drive as sda but because of the inability to start an image acquition with guymager without a right click ( one USB for the USB CD drive and one for the Drive to transfer the data to ) it would not work. I reverted to the SPADA linux boot disk and it worked beautifully. I also tried Paladin (which seems to be real similar to Raptor 2.0 ) I hope this saves someone from the 3 days of headaches.

Thanks for the update! Haven't tried Paladin but will take a look.
no firewire target disk mode?
Not on the Air - just USB and Thunderbolt on the new ones.
We had a lot of trouble trying to image the first of the new SSD Airs that came into our office a while ago, the only thing we found that would detect/communicate with the SSD was an up-to-date install of Mac OS on an external disk (we used Snow Leopard, I don't know if others would work).
Our office recently ordered one of the OWC Air SSD enclosures (as linked to earlier in this thread) - and inside the enclosure are two boards, a SATA to Air-SSD adapter which is in turn connected to the main board which has the USB/optional power. We decided just to remove the SATA to Air-SSD adapter and attach the Air-SSD to one side and hook it up to a SATA Tableau the other.
EnCase Portable. The dongle boots Airs just fine.
I recently imaged the flash memory using a USB CD/DVD drive and DEFT linux boot disk. Also attached external USB HD to transfer image to.
