[QUOTE="Alwyn, post: 1938153, member: 153944"] Having yesterday made several unsuccessful attempts to contact the UK firm that quoted me I became nervous about the possibility that it might be ‘unreliable’. They didn’t want any payment up front but would arrange for a courier to pick it up and take it 200 miles and have the courier return it 10 days later. My fears may be groundless but, as my SanDisk Extreme seems to be performing well, I decided to buy a Crucial external SSD as an alternative backup. It seems that other Mac users who have experienced slowdowns when updating their HDD based devices might benefit from my experience. When the update from High Sierra became available Bombich said that a CCC clone would no longer be able to include the OS. Their solution was the Legacy Bootable Backup. It was only when Mike Bombich suggested a standard CCC clone then downloading the full Apple OS and installing it on the SSD that I got a usable drive to use from a restart. I have since done a further clone update and found that the Ventura OS still enables the SSD to be used. A Legacy Bootable Backup erases the target disk including the OS so I don’t understand how it is supposed to enable an external drive to be used. [/QUOTE]
