Why did you reinstall and where...??? Is that 1TB NVME you seem to be using a stock Apple installed drive??? I did not see such a NVME drive listed in the specs even as an option: [URL unfurl="true"]https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i7-3.5-27-inch-aluminum-late-2013-specs.html[/URL] [B][I][COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)]EDIT: You might want to have a look at this article:[/COLOR] [URL unfurl="true"]https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/23/how-to-use-an-nvme-drive-to-upgrade-your-macs-ssd[/URL][/I][/B] - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
