You guys are my go to and would recommend you to my family and friends. I replaced my ram to 16GB and now my mid 2012, 2.9 ghz I7 is better than it was before! Took a few days but I saved myself from buying a new MBP! Can't thank OWC enough for all my MBP supplies (thru the past couple of years bought charger, battery, SSD 1TB Electra, HD connector and 16GB ram). I found one mentioning the hard drive connector could be the issue.Īfter I ordered and installed this myself (thanks OWC videos!), installing the OS went thru, Time Machine went thru as well as migration assistant. I went to different forums and youtube researching what the problem could be. I decided to try a couple more times and see if i could figure the problem out. I was about ready to give up and was thinking of buying a new MBP. It would either take forever or just get an error and fail. I did everything from reseting the PRAM, SMC, trying to system restore from Time Machine, to reinstalling the OS and nothing was working properly.

Thanks OWCĪnd again, thanks to everyone who took the time to write excellent reviews on this product! Hopefully you can see this L bend in the old/original cable pictures. So, I just held the cable down and installed the SSD over the cable and booted up and everything was good. The original cable had a L bend where two small screws held it down (before the cable goes under the SSD). The only reason I rated this product 4 stars instead of 5 is because the replacement cable wasn't configured the same as the original cable. In fact I would say it didn't run this good when I bought it new, really a night and day difference as to how it performs now. Not only that I've seen a remarkable degree in responsive of my computer. Once I received the cable and installed it, my computer immediately booted up to my SSD. Someone at OWC needs to inform him that this cable is very likely the cause. I asked him if he had read the reviews on this HD cable (he didn't answer me). Glad I ordered the part because Joe told me that that wouldn't be problem and that the controller on the motherboard was the likely cause. I spoke to Joe and explained what was happening. The following day I called OWC to inform them that I would be returning the new SSD they had sent me, since the SSD wasn't the problem. When I found the cable on OWC and read the reviews I was fairly confident this was the issue I was experiencing - so, I ordered one that night. So, I went back to OWC and felt good about being able to repair mine based on the research I found. After searching the web, I found an article where the Hard Drive cable in the 2012 MacBooks were faulty. Called OWC and after talking to Darren B, he overnighted a new SSD, however when I installed new drive it didn't show up either under Disk Utility. I knew it couldn't find the hard drive so I booted into recovery mode and when I went into the Disk Utility there was no drive showing. Had to perform a hard shutdown and when I restarted it I got a folder with a flashing question mark.
#MACBOOK PRO 13 INCH MID 2012 MAX MEMORY PRO#
On 3/2020, my MacBook Pro froze and completely locked up. The 2nd drive, which was a replacement, I had received in 9/2019. My MacBook Pro - 13" mid 2012 has gone through a couple of SSD's from OWC during the last couple of years and they have provided excellent customer service replacing the drive with a new one (overnight).
