Unnecessarily confusing. Why in God's name did you have to have TWO external drives named the same?? Sorry pal. You are flimsy as a techie.

For me I took 50 hours

You are so smart! Thanks

Will removing the controller cause me to lose existing data? Or will that be fine.

Very good detailed video. Was in a pinch to find a quick reference video while upgrading my Mac Mini 2014 last night and found your video to be very helpful. Been playing with the Macs for hours the last few weeks and learned something new from your video on using the startup disk feature. Very useful.

I recently made an installer usb drive its 64gb. It has 4 partition on it with 4 different macOS. It took me a while to make it, I’m new to the macOS environment. I wanted to make a backup of my usb to store away Incase of corruption that may happen down the road. How would I copy the whole usb to another usb of the same size? Thank you.

This is a very helpful video. Where can I get that small pry bar that you used in the video?

it's not a good idea to have the source and target hard disks all the same name.

Worked perfect on my 2015 MacBook Pro I used a ssd stick idk if that’s the correct name for it but I followed the same steps

Great video, thanks for uploading. I was able to extract the hard drive from its case/shell. But how do I open up the hard drive itself? I think the heads are stuck so I need to rotate the disk and move the heads back to the "parked" position.

And to add to that, I have the latest sync module. I have the latest outdoor cameras from blank and I had acquired a couple of cameras for my friend never used the XT two cameras that I had got from him and they work just fine. We’re very compatible.

That is not true. I have the XT2 working with my latest outdoor cameras and they work just fine.

Sir paano kaya yung sa command sa windows keyboard para sa disk utility ?

so whats the point of doing this?

Can I use those drives in a NAS Enclosure? I want to buy a NAS Enclosure Diskless, and add my 14TB hard drives, avoiding extra costs. Let me know. Other than that, great video!

Do they STILL (2023) lock the usb adapter board to the specific hard drive? Seems like a scorched earth policy with WD products!

Nice for helping *TRENCHGLITCH* the credit card info working on so many shit since I got it from you, It damn hitting so hard. I want lasting relationship this’s good business📌

How I come I don't have the restore option? Am I'm missing something? Thank you!

I couldn’t restore “ Restore process has failed “ why if you can help

have a like good man, you saved me!

Wonderful and informative video thanks!

Anyone answering questions here? Again, why do I need to name the new SSD exactly the same as the old HDD? Thx

To get to Disk Utility don'e you just type Disk Utility in Finder?

Liked and subbed. Q: why do I have to name the new SSD the same as the old HD? Thx. Great vid. Keep it up.

i tryed flash it earler with flash drive scan disk notthing bought from walmart waiting for it update flash button so left it alone for 3 hours and nothing fan did not come on at all no lights on board except bios flash button was still flashing so i changed to differnet flash dirve ativa and that one worked fan did not come on it stoped flashing so with me leaving board on for 3 hours waiting is the board ok or should i return it thank you

Very Helpful now in 2023, thank you

Very, very nice. No need for any 3rd party apps. Just needed to boot into IOS Recovery. In my case, the internal and external HDD and SSD all showed the same silver metal icon. However, if you clicked on those icons you could read the sizes of the drives. I was retiring an original 2011 time frame HDD with a current SSD. Too, I was required to upgrade my MacBook Pro from El Capitan to Catalina so that my IOS.16.1 would continue to be recognized by my ancient MacBook. Another note, if you pay attention in the video, it was said that the cloning could take anywhere from minutes to hours. My half full 320GB HDD took about 1 hour and 50 minutes (110 minutes total) to complete the cloning. Seemed like a long time, but it is installed, boots, and all is working well. As a previous poster said, you did need to unmount both drives at the beginning. On the back end, I only mounted the new SSD. When I went to the Startup Disk routine, it only showed 1 drive to select for the system boot. Hope this might help someone going forward. Thanks to Never Stop Tech.

I was following another tutorial because want upgrade from HD to an SSD. But after the restoration process and try to initialize the system using the SSD, get the white screen with ? folder. So, the difference (and what I think gona be the game changer) is the final step when you set the drive wanted to use as the System default starter. Trying this right now, hope works for me this time. Thank you!!!

I get a solid red light after flash where it reboots at back of MB. Still fails to posts. I’ve disconnected everything but the CPU which honestly.

baru tau ane, ga perlu pake program pihak ketiga, mantap

Thanks! Awesome tutorial! 💯

Thanks for sharing !

Thank you for the help.

Fan-tas-tic, very well explained and very clear, congratulations!

Thank you bro, You saved my 20$

When you said the data source needed to be unmounted as well, the video showed that it's still mounted then you proceeded with restoring to the external hard drive. Which one is correct?

Question: Does this Cloning also clones my Windows 11 and Linux partition, so I can triple boot from my new SSD drive ???

great video!! Question, can I use this method to only update/back up new files after I've done a clone of the 2 drives?

Just had to watch this again to reopen my shucked drive. Thanks for the video! Also wanted to mention that I was able to drop in a Seagate drive without any problems.

two words... Nail Clippers

2022 now, but exactly what I needed. I had the tool set with the guitar picks, but I needed to take it apart without breaking any tabs. My house caught on fire and I wanted to save my external drive hopefully by cleaning the soot and smoke from it. With blessings from above I was able to clean my computer and it is running (I don't know how long it will last, but happy it is still running) I just needed to save my WD Easystore drive for back up and now maybe I have. Big Thank you.😃

Thanks man worked perfectly

What if your HD is not Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but instead APFS (Encrypted)... should it still be the same steps?

thanks a lot my dude! just shucked a 3TB drive, turns out it was a WD Green. I only needed to shuck it because i heard something rattling around inside, turns out it was the screw from the board.

Not the it guy

How much porn do you got stored on ur desktop lol

So before we start - the position of mobo is turned off - the processor has plugged in (is it correct ?) - connect pin cpu only 4 pin - connect 24 pin power mobo - (?)how about vga discreet, it's need to plug in and connect to power supply ? - plug in the usb flash drive with bios - press flash bios (then the pc will turn on, is it correct ?) - how we know if done already ? - what should we do after done for flash bios(i assume i know it done already, then next, turn off the pc or ?) - are there any information to know it's on processing for flash bios without led usb fd ? Cause my usb flash drive doesnt has led.

thanks for the shucking tutorial. i love the shuckability of these drives... very shuckable.

Did you see any other light turn on besides the light on the usb? Did the fan turn on?

I have one of these drives that spin up the. Slows down and keeps repeating. Do you think the logic board is the problem? Can I get another one and take it apart and replace the logic board to get my data back?
