Problem with SSD MacBook Air A1304
Hi,
I have a problem with formatting SSD in MBA A1304.
I installed a new SSD (Samsung), went to Disk Utility.
SSD is visible but when I try to partition it, the process is never finished.
I checked this SSD on other laptop (Win), it works good, both partitioning it and formatting were success.
I checked the other HDD cable against my MBA and result is the same - partitioning is frozen.
So, both SSD and hdd cable are good.
What could be the reason? Motherboard?
Did anyone faced with the same issue?
Thanks.
Update
I use original MBA A1304 SSD Drive!
Please see my first post:

Any other useful ideas?
Is this a good question?

Oleg - Just to be clear here you are using the original SSD that came with your MacBook Air, correct? I think what got us confused here is you stated you have a new Samsung SSD not the original SSD (or HD) the system came with. If on the other hand this is a new Samsung SSD then the issue is within the SSD or its' connection not the system its' self as you can get it to see the SSD.

Can you take a picture of your SSD so we can see the labels & chip markings. I'm thinking you have a SATA II or SATA III device Vs the needed SATA I.

Are you able to setup a USB connected flash drive (partition, format & install the Mac OS onto it) on this system?
