Q: usb driver incompatibility - update needed
I am running several external SSD (USB)drives with my mid 2013 13'' MBA without problems but for one exception.
Samsung SSD T1, SanDIsk Extreme 500 and 900 all are formatted with Tuxera NTFS and run fine both under MacOS 10.11.4 and bootcamp/win 7-64. Samsung SSD T3 runs fine under MacOS and under win 7-64 installed on a PC, but crashes to bluescreen under bootcamp/win7-64.
I have repaired/reinstalled the bootcamp drivers - this does not help.
Also I note, if from the win7-64 machine management I update the USB drivers at some point I also get a blue screen.
Clearly, the SSD is all ok, but the bootcamp driver(s) are not up-to-date. Samsung T1 and SanDisk Extreme 500 are USB3, Samsung SSD T3 is USB 3.1, and SanDisk Extreme 900 is USB C.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
