Let’s say you remove the stock SSD from a 2019 Mac Pro, but no longer have that same Mac Pro.

It will have to be deleted when connected and paired with a different 2019 Mac Pro right?

Is there a way to delete the data without a Mac Pro?

You can't access the data of the NAND modules of iMac Pro/Mac Pro without the cryptographic key from the SEC, the data is useless.

Once paired to a new iMac/Mac Pro, the SSD will be reformated with a new key. Again, you can't access anything without the key.

Thanks, that’s what I figured
