Hi!
Back in November I bought a Crucial M4 128GB SSD and stuck it in a USB 3.0 enclosure. It works incredibly well for my video editing and it's so so fast, but I've had a really annoying problem since day one. If I plug in my drive whilst the laptop is on, it doesn't appear in Finder or DiskUtility. However, if I shutdown and then connect it, it works fine. Speeds are perfect and it works as expected. I just really can't stand having to shut down to plug it in and then turn it back on.
I have a base model MacBook Pro Retina purchased right at the end of August 2012 in London, UK.
Here's the drive infos from System Information:
