Mac Minis started using SATA 2 two years later in 2009, which continued until 2010. The 2007 to 2010 iMacs were equipped with SATA 2 technology. MacBooks and MacBook Pros featured SATA 1.5 technology from 2006 to 2007. Mac Minis from 2007-2007 also have this replacement for ATA, and so did MacBook Airs from 2008-2009. iMac G5 17-inch (2005) and iMac (2006) also boasted this SATA version. Here’s a breakdown of Macs according to their respective SATA versions.Īs mentioned, the first SATA was introduced back in 2004 and that was in 20-inch iMac G5s. What does unplugging the battery actually clear? PRAM, NVRAM, both, none? Can't seem to find the info on Google.The best way to tell which SATA your Mac computer is using is knowing which SATA versions were installed in Mac devices according to year and type. I'm still not sure whether this is SATA related. I decided to unplug/plug the battery and after it booted correctly. Today, I got the blinking folder 3 times and in a row. My workaround was to shutdown and for some reason it would boot correctly afterwards. The 5400 HDD started getting the blinking folder problem too. I'm thinking maybe the cable can't handle SSD speeds and loses data, versus the 5400 is slower and doesn't lose data. I'm confused as to why would the HDD work and not the SSD. Computer seems to be working fine with backup HDD for now.Removed new SSD, put in backup HDD, blinking folder, reboot, backup HDD now works.Reboot computer, blinking folder, go to Disk Utility and says there's no data on it.Download done, almost done Setup Assistant, but when I enter my computer user info at the last step it keeps looping back me back to step 1.Removed backup HDD, put in new SSD, go into recovery mode, wipe it clean, fresh install OS, transfer rate seems legit.
Put in backup HDD, won't boot, blinking folder. Put in new SSD, won't boot, blinking folder.Laptop is mission critical and can't wait to RMA SSD, get new SSD (Crucial M500), seems good, use CCC to copy OS on backup HDD, repair permissions and repair disk is clean.I think maybe I'm too used to SSD speeds. Works but very stupid slow wake time from sleep (like 5 minutes) and other slow related weird stuff.Use 5400RPM backup HDD, use Time Machine to restore, transfer takes 1 hour for 90GB.SSD won't mount anymore, which leads me to believe it's the SSD that has a hardware issue.Wiped and tried to reinstall via Time Machine, extremely slow transfer rate (est.Data was still on it when I plugged it in via USB.SSD crashed due to kernel panic (Crucial M4).
