If I can put it in a 3.5" adapter, cheap, maybe it'll go in an old server I have to build a Linux machine. Or not... as that's not worth much money to do, either.
It's food for thought, though!
The same reason that makes it difficult to put in the iMac will make it difficult to put in the Linux machine. But, if the Linux machine has PCIe slots, you could get a cheap PCIe slot adapter, however, I'm not sure if these are Linux compatible, or bootable: https://www.amazon.com/LWS-Adapter-2013-...07Y4Y2VDN/

I believe its a 256gb SSD, but as the laptop can't be booted right now, I'm not positive.
If you can pull the SSD, the capacity will be printed on it.
Physical space will not be an issue in that old server... it's a 4U case, and there's plenty of space inside to just vice-grip it to something... Connectability will be the issue. :-)
I don't have time to fool with it for now, but I think that Macbook Air is going in my "salvage" pile, rather than my "e-waste" pile.
