[QUOTE="jimshaw, post: 1739216, member: 365378"] My MacBook: Early 2008 (A1181, Mac identifier 4.1), 2.4 Ghz, 4 Gb memory, OSX 10.7.5. Lion My problem: I bought a Samsung EVO 850 250 Gb SSD, hoping to get a little more bang out of my old MacB, but in my initial attempts neither the MacB nor my Mac Mini is able to “see” it. I have not installed it in the MacB, just connected it using a USB dock that takes both 3.5 and 2.5-inch drives, but Mac’s Disk Utility doesn’t see it and the SSD doesn’t appear on the desktop (although an old 3.5 SATA drive does). So at present the Samsung drive is “loose,” not installed anywhere. Can anyone offer a suggestion about how I should proceed? [/QUOTE]
