  OWC also advises that the host Mac should have the appropriate Apple firmware installedbefore replacing the original Apple SSD with an Aura Pro X2.

  This is important because firmware that normally comes through Apple's macOS updates may be necessary for the Mac to recognize and properly operate with an NVMe replacement SSD.
