Error 49180

The aftermarket SSD I put in my MacBook is not mounted, nor is the volume on there which is my hard drive.


The “mount“ button for the SSD is grayed out.


When I click on the “mount“ button for the volume (MacBook), I receive the error message:


Could not mount “MacBook“

(com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49180.)


can anyone help?


thank you.

Hello dontgivadang,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


If we understand your post correctly, your SSD is not mounted and when you try to mount it the button is greyed out and you're getting an error message as well. We're happy to help!


Did you run Disk Utility on the SSD?

If Disk Utility isn't helpful you can try reinstalling the macOS.
