[QUOTE="farmeunit, post: 1820482, member: 402744"] We get donated equipment for the school and got these as part of that batch. It goes into Internet Recovery with High Sierra and goes through the installation, but won't recognize it as a bootable drive. I'm trying a BX200 right now. Someone suggested it's an issue with the NVidia MCP79/89 and certain SSDs. Most mention the M500 as a known working drive, but obviously hard to come by. MX500 "might" be an option. They mention several Crucial drives as being compatible. Several mentioned the 850 series from Samsung. I was worried the OWC would be pretty pricey, but they're only $47 for a 240GB drive, so I think I might just do that and make sure of no compatibility issues. I do Erase and make it Extended with GUID. They definitely have Internet Recovery. [/QUOTE]
