I at a loss as to why the Thunderbolt Enclosure w/SSD is not responding at wake and once again, encourage you to contact the manufacture of the Thunderbolt enclosure to see if they have any ideas or solutions.

If you have any additional issues or feedback please do not hesitate to contact us again

The MiniStation is working fine, I believe that could be quite difficult for any computer to manage standby after a boot from an external and removable device. The MiniStation is accessible, it is possible to read and write it and it has no error. I have no documentation regarding the MiniStation as boot device, but I believe that you must verify with Apple how the Thunderbolt ports are managed when the iMac is put on sleep. Thank you for contacting the Buffalo Helpdesk. I might opt to ask for a replacement if this continues, even if the retail store where I bought is trying to proxy support to the manufacturer.īuffalo's answer was perhaps not what I would have liked: The SSD is just a month old, still under warranty. I have no problems at all performing a fresh install of High Sierra if that is what is recommended based on what I have communicated so far.

I have subsequently updated to High Sierra on the external. After a few failed attempts (the disk cloning from disk util is not that "simple") I got it to work. When loading up the SSD some month ago I did not download and use any disk cloning tool, instead I trusted my own 25+ yrs of Unix experience to "restore" my internal disk (Sierra) onto the external using the built-in disk tool.

Also the internal disk was OK.īefore going back to the old mechanical drive w/o SSD connected, is there something obviously wrong with my config? This is how the info look like (in Swedish, but I assume the stuff on the right side of the colon is the same) the SSD is "APFS" while the internal disk run "Mac OS Extended (journaled)". After CMD-R on the SSD the High Sierra disk utility passed the Thunderbolt SSD. The check passed (I had a failure on the first attempt, error code 8 when checking, but that was due to me running the tools off the internal drive still on Sierra, not High Sierra, possibly, the tool is older than that).
