Target disk won't help you if one of the critical ICs on the mobo dies.


If the disk is encrypted (and it should be) and the encryption key is stored in a secure enclave (like the T2 chip) or uses a machine specific key (UID), then having removable or swappable storage isn't helpful either.

In either case, you're not accessing any stored data from a broken Macbook.


With proper encryption solutions there is always a way to have a backup key printed out that's used when the drive is in another system.
