- mbreese 7y agoIf the disk is encrypted (and it should be) and the encryption key is stored in a secure enclave (like the T2 chip) or uses a machine specific key (UID), then having removable or swappable storage isn't helpful either. In either case, you're not accessing any stored data from a broken Macbook.
