[QUOTE="colinwebb, post: 1826779, member: 395957"] My set up is as follows: On the internal 1tb Mac I installed Windows 10 in order to still be able to use my Canon scanner/software which is not compatible on the Mac. On an external 2tb SSD drive I have/had the latest Mac OS connected by USB, this made for much swifter booting. On an external NAS I have all the Time Machine backups. With no warning whatsoever the SSD suddenly stopped working and on trying to boot back into it the drive doesn’t show. The SSD is encased in a caddy, the lead to the drive is okay I’ve tested that. The drive doesn’t appear in disk utility either, so cannot do any tests from there. Is it possible the drive failed without warning or could the caddy be at fault? Would welcome ideas. [/QUOTE]
