Is attempted data recovery possible on such a failed drive?


Thank you

There is no disclosed repair price for such an occurrence. The MacBook Repair page suggests contacting apple Support for a quote in those instances. click here-> Mac Repair - Official Apple Support


The M1 Macs are all still under warranty, so should the SSD fail, the repair should be free at this point in time.

Yes. PCIe 4 NVMe is faster, its also produces much more heat. Though this is still the first generation of these new integrated SSDs with the M1 CPU.


They probably won't do a board level repair for a customer, instead just replacing the entire computer.


They may refurbish the board at the factory some time later. But to expedite things, it likely will be a complete computer replacement on the spot.
