Hey folks
two days ago I bought a samsung 840 evo with 1tb capacity. Therefore I kicked out the internal HDD and and put my old 840 evo with 250 gigs in the optibay... (I had the two drives set up as a fusion drive)
I wanted to install windows 8 on the smaller ssd but the windows 8 installer showed some kind of error... Then I wanted to test the drive. in Mac OS X I copied some files on the small ssd and then boom: Error -36
I had no idea what this was and tried formatting in several formats, even ntfs...
none worked. I thought it was broken and decided to bring it back.
Today I wanted to store some stuff on the 750 gig HDD (the one that my Mac came with), which i hooked up to a 2.5" hdd enclosure. and then boom: after a while Error -36.
Now I believe, that in the process of splitting up the fusion drive things got messed up and since all other drives work like a charm I am pretty sure that Fusion Drive is the cause of the problem.
It would be great if there was a solution without me having to bring back the ssd and open my macbook again. It's a miracle that I haven't broken my macbook yet, after having it opened so many times.
My Mac
Macbook Pro 15", late 2011, Mavericks 10.9.4
Drives: Samsung 840 Evo 250GB, 750GB Hitachi drive, that came with the MBP
P.S. Sorry for my English, not native speaker
