Comment Always use encryption, do regular backup and pray (Score 1) 478

Motherboard fails -> buy new laptop or repair on warranty.

You want upgrade disk to bigger one -> buy new laptop.

You don't use encryption and something (ssd, motherboard) fails -> you cannot unplug ssd drive, you cannot delete data, you will share all your private data with apple repair centre. Ups!

Your laptop gets into apple repair centre -> say "bye bye" to all your data because apple doesn't do any data recovery or data copying when replacing hardware.

So:
- buy biggest storage variant you will need in next 5 years
- always use encryption
- always do regular backup (hey backblaze.com, your new advertising opportunity is there)
- pray
