Having a new SSD you should preferably do clean installs and restore what is required. Once you have done the above without "reinstall MacOS" there shouldn't run in to any problems. Just follow all on screen prompts and you will have a brand new machine set up within 30 minutes and your external that you can plug in and use.Ĭloning, restoring etc. Now you can close disk utility and go back to the main menu of Web Recovery and select Reinstall MacOS. Scheme: GUID (You have to set it to this or else anything like Mojave won't install). Select erase.įormat: Up to you but MacOS Extended (Journaled) Mojave will change the volume to APFS anyway so no need to worry about that. Select the internal Transcend SSD (The device above the volume named "Transcend".) You will know if you have selected the volume instead of the root level of the SSD because you won't have the options I mention next. By default you will only see the volumes. Power the Mac on holding these until you see the globe, let go. Everyone saying, backup, clone, create bootable USB. As far as the external is concentred, you can plug this in to another working Mac and view / copy any data you wish. Put old SSD inside transcend enclosure, use T5 to screw the drive and seal the enclosure. Ever so slightly lift the SSD half an inch if that or else you will break the connector.
Used the T5 to remove the screw on the SSD. I used the P5 to open my MBAir (First time since it left the Apple Factory four years a go!). When replacing an SSD they don't just magically start working, they ship blank with no data.īoth P5 and T5 screw drivers worked fine. I have read a lot of these reviews on here, and I will be honest You need to be somewhat technical to install this.
This was easy to install and get working.
