Not sure I'd trust them with my data!

But please tell me you have a backup? If not why not? Memory is dirt cheap these days.

Couldn't you pull the hard drive and connect it to another machine in a caddy? Might be safer.

I have a old backup on Time Machine, but need newer data from it..

Apple doesn't like standards, so you will be hard pressed to find an external case with the M2 or whatever connection style Apple uses. With standard SATA it would be easy as 3.14.
