Question about Crucial Mx300

Yes, the installation works with a little skill; the connections are not the problem. However, Apple has installed original SATA hard disks in this series, which have a special pin assignment for reading the temperature. If you don't use an original Apple HD, the fans rev up to maximum speed, even if normal temperatures prevail inside the device. This is annoying! You can solve this problem with software or freeware (e.g. Macs Fan Control). However, I prefer the hardware solution from macsales in the USA. https://eshop.macsales.com/item... They offer a special data cable that has an Apple-compatible temperature sensor. With this cable, the fan behaviour is like the original. The good thing about the hardware solution is that it always runs reliably, regardless of the operating system and any updates. iFixit also has the sensor in its programme and also provides step-by-step installation instructions: https://www.ifixit.com/Store...
