[QUOTE="OOOOKDSJAKSDKLA, post: 1823281, member: 402841"] Can't thank you enough for this very helpful answer. I see your point about the drive, and you did change my view on this. BTW - yes, I did try to install the OS the way you said I should. A number of times. Never works. What we know for sure is that EVERY time I try to do some [I][B]meaningful[/B][/I] process to the ssd (in lack of better definition) it crashes the drive (not only will the app crash, but the OS itself will send a notification as if I ejected the drive (see here for example: [url=https://imgur.com/5QtYS1L]Imgur: The magic of the Internet[/url]). So if I try to run a test on the drive - it crashes. If I try to speed test the drive - it crashes (see here: [url=https://imgur.com/99EwM9O]Imgur: The magic of the Internet[/url]). If I try to clone to the drive - it crashes (see here: [url=https://imgur.com/qPHlPkn]Carbon Software - Error during cloning - Disk was seemingly ejected during process. - Imgur[/url]). This suggest to me (again - I can def. be wrong) that something about this drive is not working properly. I don't have the knowledge to explain this though. But yes, I definitely see your point and I do fear i'll buy these parts "for nothing". PS - will try the OWC site again - I did not see this last time I visited, or perhaps I did try to ship and they don't ship to where I am. Funny part - I got this MBA for it's reliability over a ThinkPad :) I find it rather funny right now :) [/QUOTE]
