Owc Aura Not Detected: Troubleshooting Guide

If you’ve recently upgraded your Mac’s storage with an OWC Aura SSD and are encountering issues with it being detected by your system, you’re not alone. Many users have reported similar problems with OWC Aura SSDs not being recognized by their Mac computers. However, fret not! In this troubleshooting guide, we’ll walk you through some steps to help you get your OWC Aura SSD up and running smoothly.

1. Check Your Connections

The first step in troubleshooting a non-detected OWC Aura SSD is to check your connections. Ensure that the SSD is securely connected to your Mac’s motherboard, and that all cables are properly seated. Additionally, try connecting the SSD to a different port on your Mac to see if that resolves the issue.

2. Update Your System Software

Outdated system software can sometimes cause compatibility issues with new hardware components like the OWC Aura SSD. Make sure that your Mac’s operating system is up to date by checking for updates in the System Preferences menu. Installing the latest updates may resolve the detection issue.

3. Verify Compatibility

Not all OWC Aura SSDs are compatible with every Mac model. Check the OWC website for compatibility information to ensure that your specific model of OWC Aura SSD is supported by your Mac computer. Using an incompatible SSD can result in detection problems.

4. Reset NVRAM

Resetting the NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory) on your Mac can sometimes help resolve hardware detection issues. To reset the NVRAM, shut down your Mac, then turn it back on and immediately press and hold Command + Option + P + R until you hear the startup chime a second time. This will reset the NVRAM settings.

5. Contact OWC Support

If you’ve tried all of the above steps and are still unable to get your OWC Aura SSD to be detected by your Mac, it may be time to contact OWC’s customer support team. They can provide further assistance and troubleshooting tips to help you resolve the issue.

Don’t let a non-detected OWC Aura SSD get you down. By following these troubleshooting steps and reaching out for support when needed, you’ll soon have your new storage solution up and running smoothly on your Mac.
