Hello,

I have an Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.3 17" Early 2011 Specs

Identifiers: Early 2011 17" - BTO/CTO - MacBookPro8,3 - A1297 -

My Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series 512Gb do not pass the Apple Hardware Test.
I suspect that the Apple HDD original cable (ref. 821-1200-02) is the problem as :
- the motherboard is brand new and I do not have the problem with my SATA II Apple SSD ;
- it was a known problem (with SATA III drive) at launch and despite the EFI upgrade it seems that I still have the issue.

What HDD cable part number is compatible with my machine and would fix this known problem ?

How can I test the cable apart from the AHT ?

Thanks for your help.
