Sadly, as we drive the size of systems smaller, the ability to get to the storage subsystem as an independent part is becoming harder or just impossible.
Unlike the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air systems which have a removable SSD units that is not the case in the new MacBook models. Here is a picture of the logic board so you can see for your self: [https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/bgZDFB3MHBQaSVWC|MacBook Logic Board] the Orange block is the SSD unit. There is no means to remove it and even if you could desolder it there is no means to connect it to another system to read whats on it. The same issue applies to ones cell phones and tablets which have likewise soldered flash memory chips.
With these closed systems it's becoming more important to have backup drives or use iCloud services to store your files as you never know when they will fail.
