Hey :wave:

Having a really strange problem. Formatted my new Kingston SSD drive to work with my work Macs. Have got it working fine on my iMac but every time I copy or move a file to it with the Macbook it immediately ejects, I get an unsafe eject warning and obviously the file doesnt copy across completely - it also fails when you try to move data off of it with the macbook. Both macs are fully up to date and running exactly the same OS version. Disk is Fat32 format.

Do the SSD drives take a higher voltage from the USB? Cant think what else it could be?? :shrug: Just so strange that it behaves perfectly on one but not the other?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
 
Update: Seems to be not working on both if the file is larger than 100Mb?

Really strange...
 
Hmm my thoughts too but I have googled and am really struggling to find out why it will let you copy to and from on one computer and then only from on another?!

Cheers Peter. Mysteries continue....
 
Hmm maybe? Would that effect the USB compatibility?
 
None. 64GB size. Tried all combo's of formatting/GUID or Apple/MS DOS etc

Could just be that there are still teething probs?

:) Thanks Darren!

I don't see the point in using an SSD via USB myself either :shrug:

Still lets see if we can get to the bottom of it :geek:
 
Did you buy an external case and stick the SSD in it OR did you buy an external SSD?
 
Nope it is entirely USB

Linky

Got it because my previous external HDD died and thought I may as well get a SSD for reliability....

Was that a wrong decis?
