MP 6,1 Hope this is right forum - OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD - Mac Pro takes forever to boot

[ralphiedee]

Ok I have a Mac Pro trash can , I replaced the original drive with an Aura Pro X2, I notice that the start up is taking longer and longer , I timed it today and it took about 9 minutes for the white line to fully fill.

The X2 hard drive size is 2.92 TB and it says 143.11 GB free

I cleaned out all junk I dont need

So far I booted in Internet recovery and did a repair disk. Just a few small things but the disk is OK

I usually use DiskWarrior but DW has not released an update to do the directory repair.

Can anyone give a a clue of what to do now as the start up time is way way too long.

Perhaps boot in verbose mode, and watch the messages to see if it’s hanging on something.
I believe you boot with cmd-V held down for that.

Booted in verbs mode but how do I save the text as I cant read it and need someone to do that, I also booted in safe mode and the machine crashed. Then Booted holding D key at diagnostics found no issues. ???????????

Here is verbos report: where start up hangs
apfs_ on ind 12884925674 ( error 28)

That certainly seems to indicate something about the disk. I wonder if the ssd is faulty somehow?

The program DarwinDumper allows you to save the Text when booting verbose. Maybe this is of help for you.

Use a utility that checks the disk in full. If okay, backup your needfuls and reinstall.

Wiped the drive , reinstalled Big Sur, put back files from Time machine. Works like a charm now.
