How to recover SSD storage from a dead 16' MacBook Pro?

A mac repair shop said that by spilling water on my MacBook Pro, it's fried. I need to recover the data off of its SSD -- where can I find a quality service that will safely remove my SSD from the laptop and install it in an enclosure to use as a drive?

To recover your SSD data from a dead MacBook Pro, if you have any backup, that will be better. If you don't,  what you need to ensure first is whether the T2 security chip was damaged or corrupted, if it was, there's no way to recover any data since the T2 security chip has the encryption keys to the hardware encrypted data on the SSD.

If not, you can use professional data recovery software to give you help. Here, I recommend you iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac, which is reliable data recovery software that can help you recover any kind of data, such as photos, videos, documents, etc.
