(mid-2011) I installed two 2 gig RAMS, from OWC, in the empty slots, and they seated properly. But then the Mac wouldn't power back up! I removed them and voila, it powers up. I contacted OWC, they suggested cleaning the contacts :0. It's brand new, the contacts aren't dirty. I had previously...

Hi everyone! I guess it's official that the Aura Pro X2 NVMe PCIe SSD is compatible with the iMac 2019 as mentioned in their latest YouTube video. If you've upgraded to this SSD please feel free to share your experience. Attached is also our OWC Technical chat transcript saying that it's...

Hey y’all, I have a OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 that I’ve been using for my iTunes library. It’s configured RAID5, 4x2TB. About 2/3 full. Last time I turned it on, it started rebuilding out of the blue. No indication of drive failures. It’s been running/rebuilding for about 6.5 days now. How...

I have a late 2013 MBP 15". In April I replaced the battery with an OWC (Macsales.com) NewerTech NuPower 71 Watt-Hour Battery Replacement Kit. I had no problem replacing the battery myself. In April, I was sent two batteries which did not work. A third was sent and was working until I started...

I have a late 2014 3.5 i5 27” iMac. We had to upgrade to 16gb from the standard 8gb. The machine runs 10.14.3 After three attempts, we finally received memory that worked. Well, after 2 hours of usage, the computer crashed. There were no normal kernel panic type messages. The computer froze...

Macbook Pro Retina Early 2015 (bought refurbished, have no warranties) It had 121 gb storage and I wanted to up it a bit; bought SSD from OWC https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ssd/owc/aura-pro-x2 with 240 gb. Short story - the change didn't work, but computer still works with my old SSD, so no...

CORRECTION: OWC Express 4M2! Hi, speed tests via Aja attached. Shouldn't the Thunderbolt 3 (MBP 14,3) speeds be faster? We were hoping to get closer to 2500 MBps. - macOS Mojave 10.14.2 - OWC Express 4M2 - 4x Samsung 970 EVO 256GB SSD - Dedicated bus - SoftRAID configured RAID 0 - Mac Pro 6,1...

I have two Dell 4K displays, which primarily I use connected to a 2018 Mac mini but occasionally (when the mini inevitably has a hardware fault, like now) I will revert to my “spare” machine, a 2018 MBP15. At the moment I’m using a tb3>dual DisplayPort adapter from OWC, and a plethora of USB...

Does anyone have experience running a OWC Envoy Pro EX High-Performance Bus-Powered SSD w/Thunderbolt 3 on a Mac Pro 6,1? Since TB2 can theoretically transfer data at 2500 MBps, is should be able to transfer close to it's (real) speed of 730MBps Write / 1000MBps Read. Anyone do a speed test of...

Fyi for folks getting their new minis and using this enclosure route to house their hard drives (or have one of the effected models). I received my enclosure today (and my new Mini). But turns out there is a known sleep issue with the enclosure, and I got a note indicating that drives may "drop"...

I will be migrating off of my 2008 Mac Pro with 4 bays of drives (1 SSD / 3 HD). Yes 10 years! Had a few questions on external storage on new mac mini that perhaps others may be contemplating. 1) Any recommendations on enclosures. Is the Thunderbay 4 from OWC reliable and speedy? Do I need the...

So far I have been considering a Drobo 5D3 (I know the horror stories some people have had with Drobo's "bricking" , but I haven't had any of those problems and am currently using a 5 year old 5D and I am not getting the speed I'd like even though i have 128gb MSATA in the cache bay and 7200rpm...

I've been checking eBay for replacement Magsafe 2 adapters (MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) and realize most of the advertised, bargain-priced adapters are counterfeit. However, I am seeing some, also at relatively low prices, advertised as "Brand New in Sealed Box", with images...

Just want to provide a tip for people who want to purchase an upgrade of their OWC internal SSD for the MacBook Pro. It seems you are entitled to a rebate (not insignificant) if you buy a new OWC SSD to replace another. In my case I bought an OWC 1tb 6 months ago to replace the Apple drive in...

Because I'm a bit neurotic in general, which leads me to over-research and over-think stuff sometimes, my head is spinning a bit trying to decide which external hard drive to purchase for my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15 inch. This will be my first external hard drive. Anyhow, after reading numerous...

Hi, I need to replace the ssd in my MBA but because its so old I thought I'd ask a few questions here to help me find the correct parts here in the UK. A few threads have mentioned OWC kits only this company don't appear to supply for my model anymore. The machine is only used for the internet...
