In desktops you can get SSD drives that plug directly into a PCI-E slot and sometimes have multiple controllers on them for RAID. You can get some absolutely silly performance out of these.

The adapter itself is just a metal frame that holds the drive. It has nothing to do with the technology or interface.
SSDs can be mounted anywhere though, some people stick them into their computers with velcro! They are light, have no moving parts, and are robust and need no special mounting or protection. I just found a random hole and screwed my drive into it instead of buying a bracket adatper.
