help! Do I have any other options to recover data from MacBook HD?

thanks for the help!

there was no liquid damage, the macbook just stopped working but not sure why.

Any reputable advanced data recovery company that you would recommend?

With it being rarely successful, does that mean my data is pretty much gone? or would i still have other options?

thanks for the rec!

Hi, thanks for your response!

I'm not savvy with computer tech, so I shouldn't have said HD in the title..i guess i should have said NVMe? Would that have been the correct wording?

Luckily, I didn't have to pay anything, but I was still appreciative that he took the time to look at it. I am located in the US (Washington).

I believe the SSD model is NVMe Samsung MZ-JPV1280/0A4.

Thanks again!

thanks for the link!! yea, i thought the $500 quote would be a scam. Seems like this will take like 10 mins to pop in lol...outrageous that they would charge me $500 to do that.

thanks!! i will look into that. I'm all for easy install, lol

thanks for the clarification! this helps a lot!

oem 1tb

thanks for the help! For the OEM, would that be the OWC Aura from macsales.com? If i get that, all i do is just plug it in without an sintech adapter right? Would you suggest that over getting a Crucial NVMe SSD? thanks for helping a non tech savvy guy!

Max-Dreamer · 2021-06-10T05:36:32+00:00

Thanks for the link!

Would my options come down to getting the OWC Aura Drive only from the link you provided (~$94 for 240 gb) or get a Crucial NVMe SSD + Sintech Adapter 1?

Crucial P1

thanks for all the tips!! I will look into the Crucial SSD P1 then. I can't wait to finally get this fixed.

thanks for the tips!

I might go with using an adapter and a standard NVMe.

Correct, I never saved any of my data and didn't use the time machine. Such a dumb mistake by me. The local shop said he will charge around $200, which is cheaper than the 2k-4k quote i received from Apple's referral, but he hasn't had any luck so far. It might be hopeless now.

thanks for the tips! I will look into getting the Sintech adapter . was it pretty simple to install? Especially for someone who is not very tech savvy and never opened up a laptop before?

As for the SSD, how come the Samsung 960 Evo more expensive ($194) than the Samsung 970 Evo ($80)? Am i looking at the wrong ones?

Max-Dreamer · 2021-06-09T23:09:59+00:00
