The new Aura Pro X2 is OWCs third generation aftermarket storage upgrade for Apples custom SSD form factor. Carbon Copy Clone virtual drive to external drive (because virtual machine does not recognize Target Drives). Other World Computing (OWC) has launched a new line of NVMe SSD upgrades for several Mac models that used Apples custom not-quite-M.2 form factor.power up in Target mode ( boot while holding t key).LAPTOP 1 ( with accidentally wiped OWC drive) After that I had control of the machine again, which allowed me to run the firmware app.Īll other machines in the house are macOS 11 so I couldn’t clone any of those because the firmware app won’t run under macOS11. I booted the wiped laptop in target mode and Carbon Copy Clone an old OS onto the wiped drive. So I needed to get an old OS on the drive somehow. Both recovery methods wouldn’t work ( original OS or latest OS ). Upgrade to macOS 10.13 or higher before Aura Pro X2 SSD install.

A bit of a fiasco for me because I wiped the drive before updating the firmware, since I didn’t realize it was going to be an issue. NOTE: Aura Pro X2 is designed for APFS file system available on macOS 10.13 High Sierra or higher.
