What you haven't been told about the 3 hard drives

I don't get this with the "hard drives (plural) from the machine" as any MacBook Pro from the 2016 models (both 13" and 15") only had space for one hard drive (SSD).
Models preceding those had space for an optional DVD drive that could be converted for an extra hard drive, but that was a conversion involving installing non-Apple kit.
If we are talking newer kit, Apple has soldered the SSD to the man logic board making it impossible to replace it as the T2 chip that is the controller for the SSD is paired with the drive logic and will refuse to work with a replacement.
A repair shop might be able to image the content of the drive given the T2 + SSD still worked.
So in reality there must have been 3 machines if there are 3 hard drives.
Quoting: Gavin Correct from what I heard last night on TV. One he was able to fix right away, one he could not as it was water damaged and the third took him some time to repair and access.  Wonder if he used another device to boot and this is where the files got dumped. Some people are more savvy than you’d image. Of course he could but why hand that one to the repair shop as they would have bootable drives anyway they use with diagnostic tools on?
