I have a 2015 A1534 MacBook with a fried motherboard. It has a 512MB SSD. Can I swap this HD into a 2020 MacBook or MacBook Air? In other words, save some money on the new MB purchase by purchasing lower capacity HD AND salvage my old HD?
Yeah, welcome to the age of throw-away computers. :-P People won't want to spend money future-proofing purchases so in 5 years it will be a bit like all the 2014 Minis out there today with 4GB RAM that nobody wants to buy unless all you want to run is TextEdit.
On new Macs everything is soldered into place, plus I bet there's some kind of hardware security features preventing doing what you'd like to do. Also the drives are not the same type.
Figured. Thank you.
nope, everything is soldered nowadays
swap in older SSD
