Nope, it' really a drop-in. Booting via Internet Recovery and runningThank you for your reply. Your help is much appreciated.I thought I had missed some compatibility issue with OS Monterey. Yes its 12+16 connector.See pics attached. It is back for replacement then.
diskutil list with the Terminal should show the blade as disk0, something like this:
Code:
/dev/disk0 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: *960.2 GB disk0

Have the same SSD in Mac Pro 6,1 with no issues. Actually runs cooler then the Apple Original SSD. Probably a bad SSD issue.

Would that process involve having to reinstall all my data?Nope, it' really a drop-in.

Doing a clean install of Monterey 12.4 via Internet Recovery should update your EFI automatically.Code:/dev/disk0 (external, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: *960.2 GB disk0

is your firmware v 430.140.2.0.0 - mine is only 430.120.6.0.0. I have returned product for replacement but would like to avoid issues when replacement received.Would that process involve having to reinstall all my data?

You'll be installing a brand new blade, obviously you will need to restore everything from your TimeMachine backup.
If you are asking about the firmware upgrade, you don't need to do it right now and while installing Monterey to the brand new blade via Internet Recovery, the macOS installer will automatically upgrade the firmware.

Thanks for your reply which clarifies the situation excellently.What you are really asking?

I guess I parked my brain while I asked that question.
Of course I'll need to copy all my data to the new drive/blade which in its new state is empty at that point bar the OS Monterey I'll be putting on it via internet recovery.
Now the bit about the firmware update is clear.
Many thanks.
