Where is the data on my model?
The last column in each table below shows how your model stores data, and so how we recover it. Open any model for the details.
Removable drive or SSD module
Most Macs up to 2017. The data survives a dead board and we read the drive directly.
Soldered SSD
12-inch MacBook and 2016–2017 Touch Bar MacBook Pro. The board must work, or the chips are moved to a donor board.
Encrypted and tied to the board
T2 Macs from 2018 and every Apple silicon Mac. A new board means the files are gone for good. Only repairing the original board brings them back.
