The drive is an SSD Samsung 860 Pro 512gb. I replaced the original cable with a cable of the same year. Then after reading this forum I purchased a 2012 Drive cable for a 13 inch per Dans advice.

I took it to Best Buy for them to install. Apparently they’re still having problems (though I have never gone thru a more terrible service experience and general lack of care).
