[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1823243, member: 396914"] I still don't think the SSD you have has failed. SSDs don't work sometimes and then not sometimes. It works or doesn't. In your case, it works. The installer fails. That's most likely a problem with the installer files or process, not the SSD. Did you take the Mac to Apple to have them test as was suggested in the other thread? I would NOT put Samsung in a Mac--there have been issues with some Samsung products. I would NOT put a drive in that requires any adapter to fit. Don't add complexity to a problem. "Affordable" may not be cheapest, given where you are located. Buying something that doesn't work isn't affordable. If you are determined to get a new SSD, try OWC (macsales.com) for a guaranteed Apple-compatible drive. [/QUOTE]
