I have previously successfully updated my „Generation 2 OWC-SSD-drive“ (240GB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G, now with Rev. 521ABBF0) in my MacBook Pro 8.3, using the exact same USB-drive-stick as used for the unsuccessful attempt to update the „Generation 1 OWC-SSD-drive“ in the Mac Mini. Upgrade your 2013 Mac Pro's internal SSD and gain up to 16x the original capacity. Available in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB capacities, the Aura SSD for Mac Pro continues OWC's dedication to giving you more.

1. Owc Mac Memory Upgrade

July 30, 2018 The Aura Pro X SSD is working great. No issues with its performance or the enclosure for the extracted SSD. If you're like me and read all of the instructions and watch installation videos before plowing forward, you may notice a discrepancy in the instructions for the installation of a heat 'shield' and heat 'sink'. The clamshell case that contained the OWC Aura Pro X had a sticker that said '2013 Mac Pro requires heatshield. OWC p/n: OWCCAURAPROXHS'. However a small printed sheet of paper that came with the order said '2013 Mac Pro Heat Sink Installation Please install the included heat sink to ensure the drive runs at the proper temperature.'

Outlook 2016 for mac and salesforce imap. Unfortunately, Mac users can't use Salesforce for Outlook as it is only supported for Windows users. However, you have the option of using Lightning for Outlook. This is available for both Windows as well as Mac users.

After the process is complete, you should be able to restart the system and boot to your new Aura SSD. Ayad I tried this and it did not work. I tried installing on a 64gb usb flash drive as instructed above and the os would not install to it. The msg 'mac os can't be installed because a 3rd party storage installed is not compatible.' Blah blah blah. It should have worked but did not so I think the problem lies with apple and their software. Let's wait and see if they fix this..

Owc Mac Memory Upgrade

Anything else I should do? Update: I have spoken with OWC customer service, and they say I will need to reinstall the OEM SSD. Then upgrade to High Sierra, which will update the Mac's firmware. Then re-install the OWC drive, and upgrade that to High Sierra.

Transfer data to your new internal SSD and/or keep the original drive as added external storage. The OWC Envoy enclosure is specifically designed for use only with the factory SSD found installed in the Mac models listed in compatibility. Do not attempt to install or use an OWC Aura SSD as external storage in an Envoy enclosure. This may damage the Aura drive, the Envoy enclosure, or both.

Now my macbook pro 13 in retina early 2015 is back to sierra and it runs fine. I'll just have to wait and see what fix apple can make for this problem. Mojave should have installed on a usb flash drive 64 gb but didn't. That tells me it's not my SSD. I suggest you go back to sierra or whatever until a fix is made.

Some Mac owners who have replaced their machine's storage with Aura SSDs from OWC are not able to install macOS High Sierra at this time due to an incompatibility issue that prevents the update from successfully converting the drives to the new APFS format. The Aura SSDs show up as 'Rotational' drives instead of Solid State, and when attempting to install macOS High Sierra, users are seeing an error message about a firmware update before the installation process crashes. Several customers who have purchased Aura SSDs on a macOS High Sierra beta blog post, as the issue long pre-dates the macOS High Sierra release. One customer was told that new firmware would not be developed until the High Sierra golden master was released, but new firmware has apparently not made it out yet. OWC offers Aura SSDs for a range of Macs, including many MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro models. According to the company, Aura SSDs compatible with the following machines are affected: - MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013) - MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) - MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014) - MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014) - Mac Pro (Late 2013) Apple is aware of the issue with select third-party SSDs, and the OWC engineering team is working directly with Apple on a fix. OWC expects 'a very timely solution.'

Your ssd firmware will be updated. Close the app and restart yr mac and follow the instructions to ensure the update was successful by confirming the updated firmware version number. You can now upgrade your beautiful mac to High Sierra or Mojave. I've got mojave installed now and the installation process went smoothly. I think it's neat.

You may have to quit and relaunch the Disk Utility to find the unformatted drive.

The only thing unusual was the fact that in my case the Macbook did NOT support Windows 10 by default. So I installed fresh copy of OS X then upgraded to the lastest version of OS X (Sierra). I then installed the Enabler from OWC. Once the reboot was done, I went ahead and ran the bootcamp process. This allowed the newest bootcamp drivers to install.

I happily accepted. The 480GB Aura SSD Upgrade Kit contains everything you need to remove your old stock SSD from your MacBook, and install a much larger (4x larger) SSD in its place. The kit even includes the 2 screwdrivers you’ll need to remove the cover from the bottom of your MacBook, and to remove the screw that holds the stock SSD in place. Also included in the kit is a nifty case with drive interface, that allows you install your old SSD in it, and use it as an external drive, offering some nice additional file storage, as well as easing the restore of your files to the new SSD. OWC also offers two very informative videos on their website which go through the steps of removing the old SSD, and installing the new one. It even shows you how to put the old SSD into its new external case.

I've been eyeing up a storage upgrade for my MacBook Air, which is a late 2013, and I'm looking to dip into the wallet for one of the OWC Aura SSD drives: Anyone have any experience with these drives?? I'm not expecting a speed bump over the standard Apple SSD I already have - I don't think the Aura SSD is any faster at all, its more for the capacity. Yes, I know its not cheap, but having 1TB internal capacity in my MacBook Air sounds good considering its my daily machine, and I'm not into having to carry external drives etc. May go for the entire kit and place my Apple SSD in the 'Envoy Pro' which will make the cloning process easier, as well as making a good backup. Will report back with my results if I go ahead!!
