It seems to me that Apple products would be the most susceptible to this, as there are a limited number of hardware variations as well as a walled garden for software.

The article mentions it technically being possible to do on a Linux machine, but I doubt it would be as easy to get conclusive data from it, when the SSD could be any size or brand and the software it could be running is nigh-limitless. I don't doubt it could extract some data, I just don't think it would have the level of granular detail they're saying they got on the M2.

I'm wondering whether having separate partitions on a drive would be enough to defend against this, or whether you would need actually physically separate drives.
