Review on 💨 Speed up your Mac with the INDMEM 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 SSD Replacement - Compatible with MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro, and Mac Mini (2013-2017) by Marc Stewart

Wow. After countless hours it worked great. I have a mid 2013 Mac Air with original battery and 128g SSD. MacOS was Catalina 10.15.7 and I had a time machine backup. There shouldn't be any problems. Right? Well, both Internet Recovery and Cmd R or Time Machine boot options kept bringing up the old version of Disk Utility (there was no "Show" button) and the new SSD didn't show up. I knew it was working because the light came on. After both of those methods didn't work, I decided to go with the download with installer option, but at the time of writing this review, the only installer available on Apple's website was the latest Big Sur. I read other reviews that said people had problems with this SSD and Big Sur. So I moved on to option 5 which was to create a bootable USB installation disk for Big Sur. Only then would the Option key give me the correct version of Disk Utility that I could use to view and erase the new SSD. After that I went back to Mac OS Utility and downloaded a backup of my time machine which was using Catalina 10.15.7. A few waits and reboots later. Everything seems to be working great. I'm not a mac geek so that was a lot of tropes and bugs for me. I don't think I can blame anyone for the difficulties with this new SSD. I'm sure they'll update the instructions and compatibility now that Big Sur is out, and at the time I couldn't find a Catalina installer (links to it on apple.com just went to blank pages).
