    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Early 2013, A1398). I think this will work on it. What do you think?

    Great video! I have this exact model. Now, it boots and right when desktop about to appear it turns off and often while progress bar is loading user profile. Any idea if I place my SSD in an identical 1398 will it boot from my OS (assuming the issue was not on the drive)? Thinking about buying another one to find out… or do you know if one of these bootable macOS USBs off Amazon would assist in troubleshooting the issue? THANKS!

    Is there a cheap USB reader for the apple SSD? the 7+17 pin? I think mine is toast, but want to make sure before I go for all the stuff in your video.

      You can only use "mSATA" SSD's - other SSD's doesn't fit in the adapter.

    What was the reason to change your old ssd? does the mSata make more productivity and work faster?

    • @xgadgetde
      @xgadgetde  4 роки тому

      Mainly because I needed more storage space. But the new mSATA is also faster: ua-cam.com/video/eK6g0YaY83A/v-deo.html

      Unfortunately yes, because apple uses a special format for the connections. I linked the adapter in the video description (it's the second link).

    Hello everyone, those links in description are not valid anymore. Does someone knows where to buy (EU) at least the adapter? I can't find it on amazon or similar... Thank you in advance :)

      Hello, thanks for your message.
      the adapter from the video is actually no longer produced, but there is another similar one that also works: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dkc5b87
      You can find this one also direct from amazon: www.amazon.de/dp/B018KF1CSA/?tag=ama-yt-21

    do you have a video on how to upgrade de memory ram on this retina model???

    • @xgadgetde
      @xgadgetde  3 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately, the memory cannot be easily replaced because it is soldered in this model.
      Technically it is possible, but very complex - you can find a similar video from REWA with a macbook air model: ua-cam.com/video/CTsEJ49LLsQ/v-deo.html
