You have to back up your data elsewhere than on your Mac: whether with Time Machine, in an online space or cloned in the machine, no matter, nothing should be overlooked in this area! Because when something bad happens, you find yourself in Gros-Jean as before.
And if the Apple chip and the storage chip miraculously escape a motherboard accident, the protections put in place by the manufacturer are such that restoring the data is practically impossible. Unless you use DriverSavers, which announcement have come up with a solution!
DriverSavers engineers have indeed identified “ the critical components needed to access data from the M1, M2 and T2 systems-on-chip (present on the latest Intel Macs). ” They managed to transplant critical chips from badly damaged Apple motherboards to working boards, allowing them to access data “, assures the company.
« [Les Mac] use high security protocols in which specific components must remain connected to each other via the motherboard for data to be accessible », Details DriverSavers. ” There are thousands of microcomponents on a motherboard, and Apple has done its best to hide what is needed to access encrypted data. ».
These famous engineers are specialized in advanced micro-soldering techniques, essential for restoring data embedded in flash memory modules. The company would be one of the first in the world to offer such a service, the price of which is unknown. In 2018, the same company announced iPhone unlocking service with a 100% success rate, for the modest sum of $3,900. Make backups, it will cost less.
