High Sierra does not run on OWC drive bought Jan17 HELP please
Upgraded my Mac Beginning this year with an OWC Aura 480GB drive,
now I cannot upgrade to high sierra for OWC drives to not support the filesystem change. So invested 450€ and now got stuck.
Manufacturer does not help at all. Offers a new line of drives costing the same. So another half thousand bucks???
Does please anybody have an idea what I could do?
Thanks very much in advance
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

FYI from MacRumors: OWC's Aura SSDs Not Working With macOS High Sierra, Fix Coming Soon

I spent hours installing the old apple drive - installing HighSierra and then trying to update the Aura SSD (1Tb). I then spent an hour on text support with OWC. The answer is that the Aura SSD WILL NOT WORK with HighSierra. They have a rebate program where they want to sell you the Aura Pro X - which will work but they will only give a $300 rebate after you have purchased the Auro Pro X. I have been an OWC customer for years and this is a pretty bad way to treat customers. The old Apple SSD (flash) works fine but the Aura SSD will not suport High Sierra because of the need to have APFS. Somehow they have frigged the internals on the drive to some proprietary system and HighSierra is a no go.
