Data recovery for new models 2016+

[G.Beard]

the reason everyone using it "once in a year" is that there's some apple warranty stuck to 2016 and 2017 models. wait a year or two and you will see how people look at you when you say something like "of course, Sir/Mam, i will transfer your data to this refurbished macbook and you may take it as a temporary device during my repair". believe me, there's nothing better than seeing Apple fan, numb from your "unauthorized service".

Well shit, I bought one.

It should simply mount as a volume in Finder or disk utility.

the reason everyone using it....

Do you happen to know if this uses UAS, BOT or both protocols. The reason I ask is we are thinking about ordering a PCIe USB 3.1 card with an ASMedia ASM1142 chipset which does not support UASP.

Connecting this device directly to the iMac USB C worked fine when tested, but as I don't have a 2016+ MBP about at the moment I can't look again to see if the device is attached to IOUSBAttachedSCSI.kext or not.

If it works, it will avoid having to keep a 2016+ machine in house as the iMac we tested the data recovery box on is not a shop machine.

well, the time is not come yet. the closest point to a real use case was showing my customer this box and telling him not to buy MBP 2016+.
i might be wrong but asm1142 supports uasp since rev 1.1

We've got POS a 12" Retina at work now and the 2017 iMac at home. Can't get the USB-C card in the UK for a resonable price. I'll just keep the 12" here. so far it's been a waste of money buying this data recovery thing but we'll see what happens as more of these machines start coming in.

The card I was looking at had specs on the website and stated that the chip does not support UASP..... But who knows.

Thanks for the reply

yup, it s a waste of money so far, however i do not think that it would get any cheaper and that's the only way to get data besides the repair. i use a macbook 2014 PCI-e to SSD adapter ~1-3 times a month and i do not see any reason why i would not need this fancy shitbox when solderedSSD macbook comes out of the warranty.

I am always using Apple SSD adapters made by Kalea Informatique, works as expected. they have a pretty cheap asm1142 device but idk if it supports UASP since description is pretty stub. i guess i'll buy one just in case.
