Hey Ayad,


I found a solution!


I wanted to try it before sharing. I followed the steps here:


OWC Knowledge base


Upon installing the firmware utility app. The app name is 'MarvellTray' and that gets installed in your Applications folder. Follow the steps on that knowledge base. After confirming the new firmware version, run the Mojave Installation again.


Let me know if this works for you, too!

How did you do that? when i download Marvelltray, and running it. i login as Admin. i didnt find any adapter 0 under Device. So i have to stop this step until figue out other way to do that. I am confuse about does i need install HighSierra in my apple SSD first, or upgrade to HighSierra. then replacement AURA PRO X SSD instead of apple SSD. then restart macbook press OPTION key to running apple ssd under envoy as HighSIerra system. install Marvelltray on it. to update AURA PRO X SSD firmware? Is it everything correct ? If not, please tell me your step. Cause i am really not understand OWC link about how to update firmware. i try many times, it all failed. thank you so much.

yes, i did. My computer can running 10.14 Mojave while i use Aura pro x SSD. The problem is after macbook fall sleep a couple hours, i try to wake it up. It always doesn't work. i have to restart. Then when i restart and press D to running Apple Hardward Test will be found VDH002. But when my system is 10.13 High Sierra, nothing find from Apple hardward test. So i am so confused it. Why my SSD always died when i use 10.14. or not 10.13. I though should be firmware problems.
