[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1545291"] OK, step one when well. New SSD arrived, Partition, formatted. Booted from USB stick, but install failed because it reported the install files had been modified. Rebooted from my backup drive, found the downloaded install files and ran it from there. Installed just fine to the new SSD. Restored SSD from TimeMachine backup. Worked fine. Obtained RMA, erased old SSD, ships back to vendor tomorrow. One curious thing, the consumed space on my new SSD is a lot smaller the old one, but the files match up in size perfectly, and nothing has failed to load. The only think I can think of is that somehow the old one had a bunch of space allocated for swap that was not released somehow from its max size. In any event, step one is done! [/QUOTE]
