And the OS install and restore went so much faster than any I had done before. After that I was fine.Īfter booting from the USB and a fresh install of Monterey I then restored the rest of the data from my Time Machine backup that I made sure was current before this. At first I had an issue with my MacBook not recognizing the new SSD Card, but when I went to put the original back I realized I didn't have it pushed into the SSD slot far enough. I confirmed I could boot from it and then opened the MacBook. So everything could suddenly become slow.īefore I replaced the drive I downloaded the latest macOS Monterey 12.4 installer from the Mac Store and then used Terminal commands from an Apple support article to create a Boot USB Installer drive from a 32GB stick I had lying around. I was using External Drives for DropBox and Photos because I had no room.
Last year I replaced the internal battery and that helped it, but the Apple 256 GB SSD only tested in the mid low 100s on BackMagicDesign and reading email could be a pain. But able to get a nicely discounted WD Black SN750 1T SSD and figured it was worth a try for so little financial risk. I was afraid to touch these after reading about Kernel Panics with Non-Apple Upgrades in the past.
