MacBook Pro 2012 13” SSD upgrade issue
Hi guys,
I want to upgrade my MacBook Pro 13” Mid 2012 by replacing the original HDD with a Crucial BX500 SSD.
Using recovery mode and a USB to SATA cable I initialized my SSD (APFS) externally. I then installed Mac OS X Mojave and continued like a new device.
With Migration Assistant I moved all the things back to SSD and I selected it like the starting disk I want to use.
I shut down the Mac and I replace the HDD with SSD but when I try to turn it on the disk is unreadable. In recovery mode the disk is back to MBR (Master Boot Record) and it’s empty. What’s the problem? How can I fix it?
Update (07/02/2019)
This is my cable, I don’t read any other number
The apn code is 821-1480A
Is this a good question?

That's the manufacturer number so I am told. That number seems to be associated with the bad SATA II cable that looks right (but isn't) in most cases.
It's so cheap to replace I'd just do it and put the matter to bed so you know it isn't the cable.
