Thanks, David. The SSD is an OWC Mercury Electra 1.0TB, specifically listed as compatible with my model; so I am expecting it to be bootable. Appreciate your prompt responses as always. Assuming compatibility, the strategy of cloning to the newly formatted and partitioned internal SSD would be fine as long as the external source is a good existing clone?
