Apple iMac Pro and Secure Storage
<i>The unique pairing here provides some very important security properties that prevent the memory chips that comprise the SSD itself from being physically removed from the system and connected to a different system, or from having their contents extracted from the chips and flashed onto SSD chips in another system.</i><p>Yet more sadness for data recovery companies and those who've lost files and want their services. Full disk encryption has been around for a long time and, well-implemented, will let you recover the encrypted data to transfer to new media (so the DR company can't see your secrets either, but you haven't lost anything.)<p>IMHO encryption should be opt-in --- contrary to what those advocating it think, not every piece of data I have needs to be encrypted, and I certainly have plenty more personal files that I would rather have become publicly accessible than lost forever. It's a tradeoff between "if someone hacks in, they can read my data too" and "if something goes wrong, <i>no one</i> can read my data, including myself" and I think this tradeoff needs to be a more explicit choice.
