I have a Corsair Force LE 480GB SSD.
I originally installed it in a 2011 13" MBP i7 2.8 and it works fine. I also tried it in a 2012 13" and 15" MBP and it worked fine in these machines.
I tried it in a 2008 to 2010 MBP - not every model but lots of 13" and some 15" MBP. The Corsair SSD did not work in any of these machines. It would start the boot process and then after some time crash.
Afterwards, I put in a Samsung 850 PRO 1TB SSD in the 2008 to 2012 MBP and it worked in all of these machines. I did this because I wanted to rule out the SATA drive cable which seem to fail.
This leads me to believe that it is the Corsair drive that is at fault here.
I contacted Corsair support and the asked me to reformat the drive as 'MBR'. I've yet to do that.
Has anyone out there had the same experience with Corsair or other drives?
