SSD not seen in Disk Utility but shows it is connected in system report So the basic story is I bought a new SSD, about 2 months ago. It worked at first. I was able to put files on it and the mac would see it no problem. Then suddenly the mac stopped seeing it even in disk utility. Then suddenly it was able to see it for a short time again, with the files still there, and now it isn't showing up again in disk utility. Opening system report, I can see that it is connected to the thunderbolt port, reading the correct specifications of the ssd. The light is working on the ssd as well so it is connected but for some reason is not seen on disk utility so I'm unable to use/mount it. What could be the problem?

M1 Mac mini can't read my SanDisk SSD I am using a SanDisk SSD, however my Mac mini can't read the file of it. The SSD showed up in finder, but it can never load its content. It also didn't show up in Disk Utilities. Mac mini also told me I disconnected it without ejecting it properly which I didn't do that. I thought is my SSD's problem, so I try to plug it into my 2017 MacBook Pro. It works totally fine, the MacBook Pro can read the files in the SSD. Can anyone help me?

MPB doesn't recognize Sandisk SSD anymore MPB doesn't recognize Sandisk SSD anymore. I thought I formatted it for this Mac and for PC. I've used files from this SSD on my MBP before. I did plug the SSD into a PC recently and it read fine. Now my MBP doesn't recognize it anymore. What happened, and how can I fix this?

Hey by Chan Fool,

We see you're experiencing an issue with your SanDisk Extreme PRO SSD not being detected. We suggest making sure the macOS software is up-to-date and also software and/or firmware is up-to-date on the SanDisk.

Update macOS on Mac

If issue persists, test in a different administrative user account. If you do not have one, you can create one by following the steps here: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac If no issues in the different user account, there could be software or settings causing the issue in your original user account.

Take care.
