Even if the hard drive is working Ok now, it won't be for very much longer. The hard drive could very well be contributing to some of the problems. The SSD in the Fusion Drive setup is masking the drive's poor health and worn out state. The "Load Cycle Count" on the hard drive is way past its maximum expected value which means the drive is wearing out. If the drives are good, then you may want to check for possible software issues by running EtreCheck and posting the report here using the "Additional Text" icon. When the SSD hits 70C or there abouts the SSD will throttle itself to lower the temperature of the drive. To check the health of the SSD and hard drive run DriveDX and post the health report for each drive here (two separate reports) using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper.īTW, these SSDs can get very hot during long drive operations and it does not indicate the SSD is failing. The computer must already have macOS 10.13+ installed so the computer has the necessary system firmware to support the OWC Aura SSD (and you must always use macOS 10.13+ with it).Ĭhances are your hard drive is the part which is failing and not your Apple SSD. Of course if you install an OWC Aura SSD in place of the Apple SSD, then you will get a performance improvement since the OWC Aura SSDs are much faster NVMe drives. The original Apple SSD is just a PCIe SATA SSD so replacing the original hard drive with a standard SATA SSD should retain the same performance you have now.
