Computer not recognizing external SSD
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2018 9:17 am
Yikes, hope someone can help.
I unhooked my external OWC SSD vi drive last night, after dismounting it from the desktop, to use with my laptop this morning. I was busy plugging in my little keyboard and plugging the drive in to the laptop this morning as it was booting up, hope I didn't plug it in at the wrong time, but after spending some time blinking, the SSD was not recognized by the laptop (2016 HS), even after restarts, hooking and unhooking, different USB port etc.
Now returning home and plugging the SSD into my iMac I'm getting the same thing, SSD is not recognized. I seem to have confused it somehow.
Is there a way to re-establish contact with the SSD? The light is lit so the cord is good....
