Unlike many here who have their own shop, I was a contract worker jumping around larger corporate customers configuring & fixing their equipment.
Apple’s move to system’s without USB-A ports forced a few of my customers to walk away from Apple gear as they were dependent on cypher keys which need to be directly attached to the system, not via a dongle or hub device which could be altered unbeknownst to the user (man in the middle attack risk). For my other big customers the lack of the ability to memorialize a systems drive or remove it so it could be destroyed was the other downfall for Apple.
So I’ve been working out of my home fixing systems as I could over the last few years.
Well, its finally happened! I’ve, fixed my last system for now. My arthritis has finally made it too hard to do much of anything delicate in the cold weather. Maybe in the late spring I’ll give it ago again.
I’m still helping people keep their systems running as long as they can be here on iFixit!
Sounds like you had a four lane SSD which is now in a two lane system!
Review this great guide! The Ultimate Guide to Apple’s Proprietary SSDs to get a deeper understanding.
It would make sense! Your current battery likely needs replacing soon anyways. It depends how difficult it was to take out and if it’s damaged in the process (which you often do).
@jayman16 - I fully understand! That was part of the issue, things change! I doubt the person is using El Capitan/Sierra with Windows.
@jayman16 -I managed to find this YouTube vid which explains how to do it How to install Windows 10 "Boot Camp" on a Mac External Drive the EASY way! (2020 edition) As you can see its a bit more involved as you need a VM to work from.
What you where likely doing was a dual boot config Vs running a VM for Windows. Catalina (APFS volumes) makes isolated partitions on the same drive messy!
Using BootCamp it is! We setup over 200 systems at that time just not possible.
The only way is if you setup discreet boot drives one with Windows and one with macOS. If you did that way you can’t easily share between the discreet workspaces and you need to reboot each time to switch the workspaces.
Both macOS and Windows need to be on the same drive which is your boot drive (the faster blade SSD).
The only way is to replace the entire SIP module.
Yes, it is possible. The SSD fits below the dvd drive; it doesn't replace it
Amorphous_metal is not radio transparent! The problem you face is the the melting point of the material and what you are casting it in needs to be higher. Here ceramic or glass would be questionable! From what I understand the amorphous metal would alter back to a crystalize state altering its characteristics.
Liquid metal is something very different.
Nots not true, the air flow is from the bottom to the top not from the side.
