    SSD MacBook Pro 2015 not recognized and gets hot

    Hi everyone, a customer brought me an original Apple SSD (mz-jpv2560/0a4) from a 2015 MacBook Pro to ask me to recover the data. He told me that the computer was taken to the Apple center but that there was a problem with the motherboard and therefore it could not be repaired....
    However they removed the SSD so for try to recover data
    I tried to insert this SSD into another 2014 MacBook Pro that I had but the SSD could not be seen either from the recovery or from an operating system started from USB (BigSur or El Capitan)
    I also tried with a USB adapter but nothing
    I also tried with a PCI adapter on a Windows PC, here the situation is slightly different.
    The computer turns on very slowly, even the r-studio program opens after about 1 minute and the SSD is identified but starting the scan generates errors and finds nothing
    I noticed that when the SSD is connected the first chip towards the connectors heats up
    Is there any possibility to recover the data?

    Thank you

    I don't do data recovery on drives, but the guys that do all use PC-3000. Pretty expensive unless you do a lot of this stuff and requires a lot of hardware knowledge as well. Special firmware's are often required from the OEM to recover data from drives, but with Apple drives there is nothing available that I'm aware of. Apple's response is 'oh, just restore your last backup from iCloud (which you have to pay for)'. They often give you a number to data recovery mob to offload you.

    If the customer really wants the data, send it to a data recovery specialist.
