    I recently bought a Kingston NV1 1tb to upgrade my Macbook Air 2017. However, my problem is that it doesn't show up in disk utility neither in terminal (diskutil list). Can you help?

    thanks for the video, glad you survived the earthquake @ 7:22 lol, but right after was a pro tip with making sure to drain any leftover current (probably stored in any capacitors?) The SSD might be able to be considered defective since the read/write was drastically disappointing from what was advertised? anyway, thanks for the content, wish you the best in '23!

    Hey dude I know you made the VC computer mod a year ago but I wanted to ask you a question. When I look at the pic after putting everything in and having a iso the monitor in Minecraft says “no bootable medium found! System halted.” Do you know what to do?

      Of course. I just did it last as I did not have enough space on the original drive.

      I think it should be. You just need to get and Apple SSD to NVMe adapter.
