“Super great. Instructions surprisingly accurate and the process, although complex, went ahead without issue... except one very small issue I'll mention here. The iMac I upgraded did not have an existing SSD, as such when I put in the new drive there was no screw to secure it. I had one, so not a problem. But seeing as your package was so very well equipped otherwise, it appears an oversight.”
Thank you so much for your kind words on the recent product review you left for your purchase on our website and thank you for shopping with us! We're very happy to have you as a customer.
My name is Robert, I am the owner of Macfixit Australia and I was hoping that if you had a little more time and if it was not too much trouble perhaps you could also leave a note of your positive experience under the Google Reviews webpage for us as well.
We find that unless we ask our customers, we very rarely have any positive notes left under this Google Review page and it certainly helps other potential customers in the decision making to determine if they should purchase from us. If you left your positive note I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you for your time and we hope to see you in our store again soon.
“Simply unlink the fusion drive Core Storage system with a couple of simple terminal commands and replace that terrible 32GB SSD with something usable. After a simple reinstall of MacOS onto your awesome new Aura Pro X2 - your boot times will go from in excess of 5-8 minutes to around 15-20 seconds!
Your original hard drive stays intact and can be used for document storage.
If you have lots of documents, then simply move your user "Home" structure in MacOS Settings to your original hard drive and your Mac will only use the new SSD for the operating system (which is actually around 30-40GB).
All-in-all a highly recommended upgrade for the Fusion Drive iMacs.
If you're not technically competent then get help - this upgrade is highly advanced for the average user, and catastrophic damage will result if you aren't careful.”
