Samsung 850 EVO in Early Macbook Pro
Hi,
I had replaced my old hardrive in my Macbook Pro Early 2011 with a samsung 840 EVO, everything worked beautifully until it didnt. In the end i couldent even repair or remformat my drive. So i returned it and got a Samsung 850 EVO instead. In the mean time i put my old HDD back in and everything worked as it should.
Yeasterday i put the replacement SSD Straigt out of the box into the Mac.,I have been trying for 24 hours now, and im not even able to Format the drive using diskutil not from Recovery Mode or from my OSX Install drive. the Drive shows up in Diskutility and is verified as okay. I finanlly got it formated using the terminal, then the OSX installation failed, tried to repair the disk with diskutillity in recovery Mode, and got a message that the GUID Partitiontable was not working, repaired disk and got the message the disk could not be mounted.
Is this simply a hardware error with my mac? could it be I need to replace the SATA Cable?
OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
