The SSD is installed internal of the MBP. Using the Disk Utility and the terminal diskutil command, the SSD cannot be found as if it does not exist.
SSD was changed to SATA 2.5 hard drive >>> It can be recognized normally and the system can be installed smoothly. There is no problem with the MBP SATA cable.
Change the SSD to a USB external enclosure >>> It can be recognized normally and the system can be installed smoothly. There is no problem with the SSD.
Maybe the problem lies in the firmware, so I looked for the efi firmware update program for the 2011 macbook pro on the apple official website
Like this: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1450
There is also this: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1499
Of course I'm not sure the direction is right or wrong, but I have to try
Then I got a message that the system does not support this software. After I installed various versions of macOS, including 10.7.5, 10.13.6, 11.7.10, and 12.7.4
like this: (MacBookProEFIUpdate 2.3 sadly, the offical doest support download anymore after 2024.03.28)
My Boot ROM is 87.0.0.0.0
SMC Version is 1.69f4
My SATA drive drives a link speed 3GB hard drive with no problem.
But it will not be recognized when using SSD.
I have tested Cruical M550 128G and MX500 500G and WD SA510 500G
please tell me what else to do
BR, Thanks
