Buggy to No Performance

Spent about a full day trying to get this card to work in my MBP. Even spent 2 hours at the Apple store where they also couldn't get the system to fully boot up. Computer boots and runs up fine using an external drive. It better to have Apple service it and install their drive. Lesson Learned.
