MacBook Pro: Second HDD Caddy - mounted SSD disappears after a while

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011), latest macOS.


I installed a 2nd HDD Caddy into optical tray and inserted an SSD (256gb Samsung). My primary is 500gb SSD (Samsung EVO).


After a while a mounted SSD stops to work. (Though I could download about 50Gb, lets say before disappearing.) Restart helps: my old SSD becomes visible.


I tried another 2nd HDD Caddy. I tried another disk, HDD. Same problem: after a while it disappears.


You can not see drive in Disk Utilities. The cable from caddy to MacBook is the same as was for DVD drive.


Please help!

MacBook Pro, iOS 11.4.1
