It fits the normal SATA connectors on the ssd. As far as my googling goes there is no proprietary shizzle. Thanks for the input though

Hello good sirs, we have an ssd 480gb from Kingston, we're trying to get installed in a Macbook pro from 2010 A1287. The recovery mode is from mountain lion, terminal and diskutil can not see the drive at all. It is internally mounted, we do not have the possibility of external mounting currently. We have tried getting it formatted on my windows desktop, but as you might know windows is unable to format to apfs and macos extended journaled, which is what macos needs. I have triedf with exFAt since it universally supported, i thought. Turns out macos doesnt support it in version older than catalina (ish) so mountain lion doesnt give a *** for exfat ;) Do you know of someway we can get windows to format to the correct system, or some way to get the mac to recognize the drive? Thanks!

If anyone cares, I bought a new cpu cooler, and everything is fixed

Okay, so i might have isolated the issue to my AIO pump, i tried moving around some of the plugs for different fans on my mb, and wherever the pump was plugged in the BIOS would report N/A, that would also explain why the the one plugged into cpu-fan would start ramping up to try to copmensate for the faulty cooling of the cpu. Does this seem plausible to you guys? A thing to note, i didnt see the cpu temp go above 60 C in BIOS, it shut off at around 59 C. The temp went from 33 to 59 in about 20-40 seconds. Is the corsair h60 known for pump failures?

Okay, so I got it into the uefa bios, it did show one of my case fans as red, normlly theyre blue, it was only reported as spinning at 530rpm, it turned back to blue, but showed an rpm of 630. I had it change the boot order so my ssd was number one, for some reason my dvd drive was number one before. Im going to download and install driver updates for everything I can while it is still running I will also try to get the bios updated and see what happens. Attempting the safeboot as well Another issue for trying to isolate the cause is that the problem is not continuos. Do you know if it possible for an overspinning fan to cause a shutdown, because this far, that fan is the only thing definately acting weird?

Quick update: On the third try with booting it up, it gets to the windows repair/restore and has not chrashed from here this far, I can then boot to windows from the repair function, but then they spin back up since it has to restart to get to windows, and then it crashes again. If i try to power it on to fast after it has crashed, it will crash almost instantly, leading me to believe it might be BIOS or hardwarre related issue.

Hey, I have had an issue with my desktop for a little while now. I power it on, everything seems to be running smoothly, but after some time the fans sound like theyre ramping up to full speed and then the copmuter shuts off. I tried launching HW monitor as soon as I turned it on as i thought it might be a faulty tempereature reading, but nothing was out of the ordinary. Usually it works just fine if I let it rest for some time and then turn it on again. Then last night it did the same thing, but this time it was after the machine had been running flawlessly for many hours, it has never done this before. And now today, I havent been able to powr it on and keep it running succesfully at all. The stability issues did not occur after any specific hardware install or software update as far as i can rememeber. The was obviously reinstalled whne i got my ssd in 2015, but has not been reinstalled since then, I have installed the latest version of windows. I will try to get it running and update everything else -AMD drivers I dont know the version of my MB bios since i am unsure how to check it, also updating it, I have never done So if you have any good ideas or more info, please reply here All help is welcome Specs: 2x4gb crucial ram - from 2014 amd fx-6300 (From 2014) with a corsair h60 watercooler (From 2015) amd rx 480 from 2016 i think asus m5 a97 r2.0 - motherboard (2014) xfx 850w powersupply, total overkill, I know (2015) samsung 850 evo 128gb ssd - about halfway full (2015) seagate 1tb hdd - 300-200gb available (2014) wd green 2 tb hdd - 700gb available (2015) Windows 10 home premium 64 bit
