#Carbon copy cloner macbook pro ssd how to
This video indicates how to repartition the disk: Note: Step 4 is very important - be sure to apply a new partition scheme to the disk, don't just erase the volume.

Set the startup disk to the new disk in the Startup Disk preference pane and restart your Mac Clone your original source volume to the new diskħ.
#Carbon copy cloner macbook pro ssd drivers
The MacOS’s Bootcamp Utility has the option to download a file containing all Windows drivers for your particular machine, and if you are running the MacOS from your SSD, this package will include the SSD drivers for Windows. Create a Recovery HD on the new disk in CCC's Disk CenterĦ. The other necessary thing is to obtain the necessary drivers that enable Windows to recognize and run from an SSD.
Re-initialize the new disk (in the partition tab - reapply the "1 partition" scheme to the disk)ĥ. Boot your Mac from the original startup disk in the external enclosure - hold down the Option key while booting your Mac to get to the startup disk selector screenĤ.
#Carbon copy cloner macbook pro ssd install
Install the new disk inside your Mac and put the original disk in your external enclosureģ. This procedure seems to provide more reliable results for most users:Ģ. Some MacBook Pros can boot from a disk in an enclosure, but not when it is installed internally (asks to be reinitialized) Some MacBook Pros can boot from a disk in an enclosure, but not when it is installed internally Here are two related discussions from our Help Desk (for background): We've actually seen several reports similar to this, though, there seems to be a common compatibility issue with various SSDs and various Macs. I have to agree with the first reply - CCC just copies files, it can't break the SSD. Has anyone had any similar problems / have any suggestions? A fresh install isn't the end of the world, just a bit annoying. So it's gone back again and i'm now waiting for the third one which I am not planning to use CCC with.
Interestingly, disk utility knows it's a 512gb m4 but just cannot do anything with it.Īnyway, I sent it back and they sent another one and exactly the same thing has happened again. I tried formatting it in disk utility and it says 'Cannot write to last block of the device'. After that finished the drive appears to become corrupt and unusable.

I then tried to do a full disc copy using CCC from the 256gb one. I connected this drive to the imac using usb to sata caddy and formatted it hfs+ using disk utility. I recently purchased a 512gb version of the same drive to replace it. I currently boot my imac off a crucial m4 256gb ssd connected by thunderbolt through a seagate goflex adapter. I'm not associated with either companies/products, this is just my recent story with both softwares, and I'm on the latest Mojave OS.This isn't technically a macbook pro question but I thought more people would use ssd's here than in the imac forum. So I'm a SuperDuper fan now, CCC is now in the trash, because the speed difference is insane. Woop, what a difference! If I was using SuperDuper first I wouldn't have even bothered spending £30 on a dongle, I would have just charged it up first and then plugged in my usb-c sandisk drive and let it backup on battery power. I check my MacBook now, backup has been completed in 49 minutes 11 seconds! I left it on and went off to the supermarket. Using the same dongle with my power and external hard drive connected through it.
So today I give SuperDuper a go for the first time. The dongle works again as long as I restart the MacBook. So did CCC actually finish the task 16 hours both times, or did it say task complete because the dongle seems to fail around 16 hours and just ejected the drive? I couldn't be sure and didn't want to risk it, and I didn't want to shell out £70 for the official apple dongle just in case it made no difference. So I attempted CCC again, and CCC completed the task at around the 16 hour mark, but the drives were ejected and wasn't charging again. I'd have to restart my MacBook for the dongle to work again. However I couldn't really trust CCC saying this because the dongle seems to break after 16 hours of continuous use, because both drives would be ejected and the MacBook would no longer be charging. So I'd leave the backup running, a full fresh one, next day when I would wake up, the backup supposedly completed successfully after 16 hours. Then I bought a 3rd party imitation HDMI/USB/Power dongle from curry's in the UK for £30 so I could power and backup to my external Sandisk SSD (it came with an adapter to change usb-c to USB so I could use it in this dongle). Now when I tried to CCC my drive to my backup drive via battery, my power would die before the backup would complete. The problem being now is I sold that MacBook Pro to my brother, and only recently got a MacBook 2017, which has 1 port. So in the past when I had a MacBook Pro 2016 with two usb-c ports this wouldn't have been a problem.
