So what happens if the SSD goes bad or refuses to mount....you have a mult-thousand dollar brick because of a hundred dollar part?
I assume you can recover from corruption...but what if its a hardware defect.
- jhanschoo 6y agoNo, you can swap the SSD, you just have to have another Mac on hand to reset the security chip and encrypt and install into your new SSDs.
- croutonwagon 6y agoAnd if you don’t have one? I have exactly one Mac in my house. I also have linux and windows in various forms. But only one Mac. And the nearest “Genius Bar” is 200 miles away with only affiliate repairs (or whatever they call them) locally.
- jhanschoo 6y agoThen you have a machine that's unusable until you find one, but it's not bricked (which means that the hardware is irreversibly unusable).
- croutonwagon 6y ago>(which means that the hardware is irreversibly unusable). In my case that would in effect be a distinction without a difference...
