Hi all,
I need some advice on upgrading 24GB blade SSD on my 27" Late 2015 iMac.
Two options I am considering are:
1 - A 1TB SSD + adapter, many reports of successful installation, some negative feedback about adapters
2 - 1TB OWC Aura Pro X2 PCIe NVMe SSD
I like #2 because it eliminates the need for the adapter, however, I could only find one report of the successful install here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-2012-2019-ssd-upgrades.2162435/post-29759775
However, OWC website says 17,1 is not supported hence I am reluctant.
Which option do you recommend? Any other success reports with OWC?
Furthermore, in either option:
1 - Should I still expect a crash from a sleep issue? Or has this been resolved at some point? I cannot find the system boot ROM version on my System Information however System Firmware Version is reported as 447.60.3.0.0, if it is relevant.
2 - There was some mention to boot camp no longer working after the SSD upgrade. Will I still be able to create a dual-boot Monterey + Windows 10 system? There will also be SATA SSD, I don't mind booting windows from that if it helps, it doesn't have to be on the blade.
3 - Anything else I need to consider before ordering things?
Many thanks,
Ali
