Introduction
Recently I purchased a OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD / 480 GB1 x $229.99 through iFixit.com. I have noticed that while attending college my storage space has evaporated due to curriculum required installed programs. I will be creating a clone of the current hard drive onto the new hard drive before the install. Be sure to follow each step according to the outline in this tutorial to ensure success.
I had a clean install of OS High Sierra on a separate external drive. This helped me when I rebooted, as the new SSD was not found and could not be formatted or improved upon. Using the external I was able to get the drive recognized (due to a necessary Firmware update within High Sierra) and from there was able to install the new OS onto the new drive. Read that again, it might be helpful to you.
