The data is encrypted with the key stored in the T2 chip (if it's still called that) so you couldn't even just solder it to another board.

- watermelon0 5y agoShouldn't Apple be able to recover the data if T2 is intact? It's possible that it's not worth to them, but I'd think it's doable.
- viraptor 5y agoIt's of course technically doable - the laptop itself is a device that talks to the drive via T2. But it's not something Apple wants to do. This was an issue for years already before M1 was introduced.
- hesk 5y agoIs this the same as Filevault or is it something different?
- fmajid 5y agoSimilar, but done in secure hardware in a T2 embedded inside the M1. The complete I/O path is protected.
