You will not be able to recover the data from the ssd of the macbook pro 2018 in case of equipment failure

The first MacBook Pro computers with Touch Bar arrived in 2016 with several surprises not very pleasant for its users. One of them was to see that the SSD storage units of these computers were welded to the motherboard, making its removal impossible. This caused great concern regarding the inability to retrieve stored data in the event of a motherboard failure.

Apple has removed data recovery connector from soldered SSD on MacBook Pro 2018, all event details

Apple developed a tool for the 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar in order to allow data to be recovered from the SSD in case of equipment failure. This tool offered Genius Bars and Apple-authorized service providers the ability to retrieve information from the SSD soldered to the motherboard in the event of a motherboard failure.

iFixit has verified that the new 2018 MacBook Pro has seen the data recovery connector removed from the motherboard in 13 and 15-inch models with the Touch Bar, making it impossible to use the aforementioned data recovery tools above. If the computer is still running, the data can be transferred to another Mac by starting the system in Target Disk Mode, and using the Migration Wizard that depends on Thunderbolt 3 ports.

However, in case of equipment failure, it will be impossible to recover the stored information, unless Apple has invented another system to allow it or will do so soon. This is something that all potential users of MacBook Pro 2018 should know, hopefully Apple will offer a solution soon.
