Q: 10.9.5 update defected my MacBookPro8,1 SATA controller

Dear all,

 

I have a MacBookPro8,1 with an Sandisk 256G Ultra SSD instead the HDD (the HDD is moved to the DVD bay).

 

It worked nice for a half a year, but after this update on friday I could not access the SSD. DiskUtility sees only the HDD.

 

SSD via external USB case is ok. Other HDD cannot be detected neither by the builtin controlled.

 

I already tried all resets SMC & co. and I also checked that the firmware (SSD, boot ROM and SMC) are up to date.

 

The funny thing is that the second SATA controller channel is working nicely with the original HDD.

 

Any ideas are welcome? What else can it be rather than a bug in the new apple firmware?
