Grab the drives from the cloud?

Isn't most data in the cloud heavily distributed and broken into shards across many racks and drives and such? And encrypted so is useless outside of the custom block storage system employed by the cloud provider?

They would need to decrypt and assemble the shards to get usable data out.

I have no clue how they would even know which drives out the tens of thousands to grab, and they would also have other customer's data on them.

They'll just get a warrant to search the live system as it is powered on rather than take a cold drive.

Or in China, just take the entire data center. https://www.theregister.com/2018/01/11/icloud_china_goes_to_...

It's simple, just grab all of S3.
