Here’s a quick step by step guide on how to best use this function. The Disk Cleaner menu allows you to free up tons of disk space by removing gigabytes of unneeded files from your hard drive. You can select the different and useful functions of the app on the column to the left of your app window, and please allow us to guide you through each of these below: The scrolling graph at the bottom shows you your Mac’s CPU load in real time. This will give you a highly accurate and current insight into your CPU, Memory, Battery Usage and more. You will notice certain figures changing in real time. It is perfect for glancing at your Mac’s statistics and to monitor its performance. The Dashboard menu provides a quick and informative overview of your most important Mac system stats. Upon the first and every subsequent launch, you will first be presented with a Dashboard menu, an example of which can be seen below. The app functions as a standalone app, and runs in its own window. It is the only disk utility app that you need on your Mac to keep it running at its very best. Disk Aid will clean, optimize and protect your Mac, all whilst saving you up to several gigabytes of precious disk space. You will need to have Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider provide you with a repair estimate.Disk Aid, has been built from the ground up and optimized for the very best performance and disk space saving ability. Unfortunately there are no third party SSD replacements for this model laptop as it is a completely unique connector. Here is a Parted Magic article showing the procedure: Unless you are familiar with Linux the best option would be to use the paid copy of Parted Magic since it has a customized utility that should be easy to use. I've had mixed results with performing this hardware reset on the SSD since the majority of our organization's SSDs on 2016 & 2017 laptops don't seem to support this feature. The only thing left that can be tried would be to use a Linux utility & boot disk to access the SSD's built-in hardware secure erase feature which can also reset the SSD to factory defaults which can sometimes fix an SSD. From what you are describing it sounds like the SSD is taking a long time to go ready so I suspect the SSD is bad. Most likely the problem will be with the SSD, but it could still be a Logic Board/power issue. Yes the 2017 non-Touchbar model has a separate SSD. Make sure to have frequent and regular backups since it is impossible to recover accidentally deleted data from an SSD plus an SSD can fail at any time without any warning signs.įYI, here is the current list of publicly acknowledged free repair programs for various Apple products (some products have multiple programs): You can also clear the NVRAM by using the Terminal app and the following command: sudo nvram -c

Try an SMC reset and a PRAM reset (try holding the PRAM reset for a full minute if possible although some 2017 laptops won't let you hold it that long). Yes First Aid can have unfixed errors even if everything appears "Ok". If there are any unfixed errors, then you will need to backup the SSD before erasing the whole physical SSD in order to create a new APFS file system. Even if First Aid shows everything is "Ok" you should click on "Details" and see if there are any unfixed errors. You will need to click on "View" within Disk Utility and select "Show All Devices" before the Container or physical drive will be appear on the left pane of Disk Utility. Select the Container and the physical SSD when running First Aid (you need to run First Aid on each one separately).
#Disk aid 2017 update
macOS will provide firmware updates when they are necessary or they will have a special free repair program so that a service provider can update the firmware for you. There is nothing you can do about SSD firmware updates. Is there another typical reason other than SSD or motherboard failure for this kind of symptoms? This vividly reminds me of my late-2009 MBP, where I've had to replace the hard drive cable several times.

Still it would be nice to know, what was that SSD firmware update and how has it been determined that 512GB drives are not impacted? Can I get the update and install it on a 512GB drive? There is a service program, but it is for 128GB and 256GB SSD:s, so my MBP is not eligible. Another notable point is that it has never failed during active use. Last two times the computer has failed to restart, coming back to the flashing drive icon, but if I boot once from an external drive in between, the internal drive boots fine again. I have started to get the flashing drive icon with a question mark every few days.

I have a MacBook Pro 2017 (13", no touchbar, two thunderbolt 3 ports, model name "MacBookPro14,1") with a 512 GB internal SSD.
