In fact I would say it didn't run this good when I bought it new, really a night and day difference as to how it performs now. Not only that I've seen a remarkable degree in responsive of my computer. Once I received the cable and installed it, my computer immediately booted up to my SSD. Someone at OWC needs to inform him that this cable is very likely the cause.


I asked him if he had read the reviews on this HD cable (he didn't answer me). Glad I ordered the part because Joe told me that that wouldn't be problem and that the controller on the motherboard was the likely cause.

I spoke to Joe and explained what was happening. The following day I called OWC to inform them that I would be returning the new SSD they had sent me, since the SSD wasn't the problem. When I found the cable on OWC and read the reviews I was fairly confident this was the issue I was experiencing - so, I ordered one that night. So, I went back to OWC and felt good about being able to repair mine based on the research I found. After searching the web, I found an article where the Hard Drive cable in the 2012 MacBooks were faulty. Called OWC and after talking to Darren B, he overnighted a new SSD, however when I installed new drive it didn't show up either under Disk Utility. I knew it couldn't find the hard drive so I booted into recovery mode and when I went into the Disk Utility there was no drive showing. Had to perform a hard shutdown and when I restarted it I got a folder with a flashing question mark. On 3/2020, my MacBook Pro froze and completely locked up. The 2nd drive, which was a replacement, I had received in 9/2019. My MacBook Pro - 13" mid 2012 has gone through a couple of SSD's from OWC during the last couple of years and they have provided excellent customer service replacing the drive with a new one (overnight).
