[QUOTE="live steam, post: 1005681, member: 47817"] Same issue here and it seems that even on the Apple site certain links to this issue have been removed. My thoughts on this aren't good. I suspect they know they have thousands of faulty drives out there in the world or they made some code change in a patch that rendered certain drives inoperable. If you find anything, please let me know and I will do the same here as well. I posted in another thread that I probably have used the drive about a dozen times since purchasing the computer. No real need for me to use the drive other than to load apps. This shouldn't occur no matter the age. Only use should eventually make it eventually fail. Heck I hear the drive spin up upon startup, so it's getting power. However for it not to be recognized, that tells me it's related to the OS in some way. [/QUOTE]
