MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) data recovery

The MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) stores your data on a removable Apple blade SSD (SATA) on Apple's own connector. We take the blade out and read it on our Apple-specific adapter, so the Mac doesn't need to work. If the blade itself has failed, we repair its circuitry.

Drive can come out: direct recovery

Recovery methods for this Mac

  • Logical recoverySoftware-level recovery from a working device
    Yes

    Deleted files, erased disks and damaged APFS or HFS+ volumes. Deleted files on an SSD may already be cleared by TRIM, so stop using the Mac.

  • Physical recoveryRepairing failed hardware to read the data
    Yes

    Failed power circuits, controllers or firmware on the blade are repaired so it can be imaged once.

  • Chip-on recoveryReading the NAND in place, through the original controller
    Yes

    If the blade's controller won't run off the Mac, we repair the blade's own board and read the NAND through its original controller.

  • Chip-off NAND recoveryRemoving the memory chips and reading them directly
    Limited

    Apple blade controllers scramble the data on the NAND, so chip-off works only for some controllers. FileVault-encrypted blades also need your password.
