Best replacement ssd for macbook pro7/12/2023 ![]() I tried to format to GPT, JHFS+ using gparted, which worked perfectly, however when booting back into the OSX installer could again not mount the partition or see the drive available for install. I've also had a hardware Input/output error shown in the terminal. I'm able to format as MBR, FAT32 using disk utility, which succeeds, however cannot mount the partition after being formatted. Each time the process gets stuck at a message such as 'waiting for partitions to activate', 'waiting for disks to reappear', or similar. I've tried multiple times to erase the entire disk and format to GUID, HFS+, using both disk utility and the terminal commands. When I've booted into the OSX installer after replacing the internal drive, I open up disk utility which can see the disk. I know that neither of these are the case as the drive works perfectly and can be read/written to (and formatted) booting ubuntu from usb. However, most of what I've found says either the problem lies with a faulty SSD or faulty sata connection. (The adapter has no circuitry and just changes the pin layout on the mSATA connector). I'm using a MBP 10,2 with an adapter to convert mSATA to the proprietary connector. ![]() I've done a lot of research around the SSD - people seem to have had success on older macs. The replacement went very smoothly however I can't format the drive when trying to clone it. I've just purchased a Kingston UV500 SSD.
