[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1577374, member: 320225"] It appears your optibay adapter might be malfunctioning, creating some kind of conflict in SATA. I have two Crucial 960GB M500 SSDs in my mid-2010 MBP17, and never any problem. Also tried my optibay with Crucial 240GB M500 SSD prior to installing 960GB one - just to test the adapter - was fine. If you want your MBP to boot from SSD, I suggest you swap places of your HD and SSD: install the SSD as a main drive, and put the HD into the optibay adapter. That way you'll be booting from the top of SATA three, might help to resolve the conflict. [/QUOTE]
