You are the one with the "convenient scenerio" about "security" of having replaceable SSD. I wasn't the one making up a convenient scenario to justify soldered SSD. I'm for replaceable SSD.
I'm...

Oh, I get it. It's you who doesn't (or doesn't want to acknowledge the obvious). This debate we're having has nothing to do with a lost/stolen machine. You're just moving the conversation to a more...

You don't get it.
Having a removable SSD isn't going to help you one bit if your laptop is stolen or lost.
If your drive isn't encrypted, your sensitive data is in the hands of the person who...

You just don't get it. Having your data in someone else's physical control is simply not a good thing. Encryption is only as good as your passwords and Apple's keys and security. Once one of those...

The old school 3-pass or 7-pass "zeroing out" for magnetic drives isn't even necessary for SSD.
An encrypted SSD with a secure erase on the SSD would make the data unrecoverable. If you still...

This is correct. The old school "zeroing" does not work on ssd. My point is, with a removable drive regardless of hdd or ssd, the machine can be recirculated instead of complete destruction of the...
