Fried my MacBook SSD trying to transfer using Apple’s thunderbolt cable. Actually SSD worked, but everything was gone. So yeah, I’ll pass next time.
I don’t think plugging a cable directly into the pci bus is a great idea
- radicality 2y agoThat sounds bad, have any more details on what happened? You plugged in something external and ‘fried’ your ssd ? I don’t know how likely that is here, but there was a class of attacks called Thunderspy which could allow an external malicious device full access to your computer via thunderbolt. https://thunderspy.io/ https://thunderspy.io/
- jbverschoor 2y agoI actually think it could also have been something that resetted the T2 chip during the process.. I bought a new MacBook and wanter to transfer data using the cable / migration assistant. I think it froze. After that it wouldn't boot, and there was no partition table. The SSD worked after formatting though. The cable was a cable directly from Apple, but yeah product return fraud on Amazon could be scary with these kinds of attacks
