Mac Mini M4 SSD upgrade - results
|
I recently wrote about the external drive spinning down and up constantly on my Mac Mini M4.? I¡¯d mentioned that it was a 256 SSD and that I had ordered a replacement SSD.? It came this week and I have run into a problem.? I installed the new 2TB SSD.? When trying to install restore the Mac in DFU mode I am getting a window which reads: The Mac ¡°Mac¡± could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2006).? This happened with three tries with the latest download software, clicking Option and Restore, to select the downloaded software.? I also tried with an earlier version of the software.? Might anyone have seemed advice to how I might proceed?
?
Also, my wife has the same set up - M4 Mac Mini with 256 SSD. I installed her¡¯s with a new SSD and all went well.
?
Note for those interested: The SSD from Expand Mac Mini was a complete kit with screwdrivers and tools to do the job completely. ? The other SSD was from Amazon and was just the SSD - no tools included.? In case you wonder, the SSD from Expand Mac Min is the troublesome one, though my problem may not be with the SSD.
Also, I found one of the Mini¡¯s hard to get off the bottom cover.? I actually broke a plastic prying tool trying to open it.? And in one, the screw on the original SSD was extremely tight and required a great deal of pressure to budge it.
?
And that¡¯s all I know about that.

Thank you,
