I'm saying many manufacturers don't specifically list Mac compatibility or make it as easy as Crucial or OWC to identify the correct compatible memory. I'm not saying other good quality name brands of memory won't work. Click the 'Restore from' drop down menu, then choose the volume you want to clone the data from. This is the volume that is erased and becomes the exact copy. Disk Utility will now ask you to select the partition you want to copy to your new SSD.

Our organization has been using Crucial memory since they began selling to the public almost 20 years ago and we very seldom get a defective module (3 or 4 out of thousands) and never had any compatibility issues. Apple's Disk Utility (10.13 and newer) Select the new drive volume in the sidebar then click the Restore button or choose Edit > Restore.

Crucial even lists 'Mac Compatible' on their product page for the exact parts which are compatible with Macs and even has 'Mac Compatible' printed on the plastic packaging containing the memory.

These other specifications are just as important for compatibility plus some of the non-brand name memory (even some brand name low end memory) are just poorly made. CD/DVD Drive, USB port, PXE, or hard drive. RAM has a lot more technical specifications than are typically listed by the computer manufacturers and even on the memory product page. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the hard disk. If you just purchase memory based on speed (or the other limited public specs listed by Apple), then most likely even the Crucial memory will have problems as well. Even then make sure to only order the exact part numbers listed when using the tools on their respective websites to identify your computer & memory. Macs are very picky about the RAM they use so it is best to only use memory from Crucial or OWC. Any recommendations on what RAM would work or what the issues is? I had bought 8GB Kit (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz SODIMM RAM, Royemai PC3-12800 2Rx8 1.5V CL11 204-pin Notebook Laptop RAM Memory Module from Amazon, and was able to return it. Is there a way to do this inside the UI of DiskUtility or only via terminal using diskutil commands. Unfortunately I didn't watch the guy do it in detail so I don't know how he did it exactly.

Can you guys tell me to merge it again as one disk where I can install macOS on? Now I installed Catalina on the 'new' 2Tb SSD, but I want to merge the SSD with the original Fusion Drive-SSD that's still inside. One week ago I wanted to do a clean install and I accidentally undid this merge within the DiskUtility inside the Recovery-mode (Cmd+R) of Catalina I somehow unmerged it. Afterwards he did some lines inside Terminal to merge the Fusion Drive-SSD and the new internal SSD as one 'Macintosh HD' with a total of 2,128 Tb.

I ordered an SSD which would be placed inside my iMac by a guy that knew how to do it. The Fusion Drive-HDD broke, the 128Gb SSD from the Fusion Drive was still working fine. One year ago my Fusion Drive partially broke. Merge original Fusion Drive SSD and 3rd party internal SSD Hi all,
