Replaced internal HDD with Samsung SSD... not working correctly. Help
I’ve been on the phone with Apple support for days and no one can help me. I replaced the internal HDD drive with a solid state Samsung 870 QVO 2TB. This iMac had a fusion drive set up with a 128 gig internal drive attached to motherboard. I loaded operating system on the new SSD drive and I’m having tons of problems. I can’t copy files from an external drive to the SSD with getting (error -36). Software installations aren’t going smoothly. HELP!!!! How do I get the Mac to just use the one internal ssd drive that I installed (SAMSUNG) and ignore the other small internal drive. I don’t want a fusion system. Just one 2tb SSD drive that I installed. Hope this makes sense. Things work fine when I install the operating system on the 128 gig internal ssd drive that’s on the motherboard. I obviously don’t want that. @danj help!!!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

To be clear you now have two drives: a 128GB blade PCIe SSD and a 2 TB SATA SSD.
Both drives presently have macOS installed as bootable drives, formatted GUID/APFS and you installed Mojave (10.14.6) or Catalina (10.15.2) on each. Is that where we are now?

The operating system is on the 2 TB SATA SSD that I just purchased. That isn't working well. Having issues copying files from external drives onto the iMac and also having installation issues with certain software.

I'm in Catalina.

Is there a way to message you privately? I'd love to call you or have you call me to discuss... I've been on with Apple tech support and no one can help me. They can't figure it out..
