LIF = Low Insertion Force

It uses a ribbon cable to connect to the motherboard. Not that it is different than sata, just a different connector type. You usually see this type of interface on notebooks or super thin laptops. The main problem is they are usually not upgradable because you have to find a replacement with the proper ZIF/LIF interface.

You may be able to find an adapter or external case for it but it will most likely end up costing more than a regular Sata 3 SSD.

Here is a thread about somebody trying to recover data from one: http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?t=18418
