[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1259360, member: 38864"] Alrighty… now we're on track! However… don't be too quick to assume it's a problem to the SSD specifically. It "could" be the SATA controller too since that would have no impact on the functioning of an external drive. This actually happened to another member recently. Realistically, the only thing I can think to try is to replace the SSD with an HDD and see if the problem replicates. If it doesn't, then the problem is definitely rooted in the SSD and OS updates. If it does replicate, then it's some other hardware component. Regardless of which component it is, you are in an interesting pickle. Everything works fine up until you install 10.6.5 or later, which is really odd. The question remains… is it a bug in the updates, or a fault in the hardware that the updates have brought to light? I don't think we can answer that question. I would call Apple, even if you are out of warranty. Sometimes they can make exceptions, and if you have an existing hardware flaw that was only revealed with the updates, then they should be on the hook for it IMO. There may well even be a recall you don't know about. [/QUOTE]
