Probook hard drive caddy problem

[namio]

I just recently built another probook hackintosh. Mavericks 10.9.5 with clover/PBI

I removed the DVD drive and replaced it with a 1 gb hard drive/caddy. The main drive is a toshiba 512gb SSD

On a couple of occasions now, when I am trying to copy files to the hard drive in the caddy, everything has frozen and the drive in the caddy 'ejects' itself with the message hard drive not ejected properly

The only way I can get the drive to reappear is to completely shut down the laptop and then reboot (restart doesn't work)

Has anyone else experienced this problem with a hard drive caddy? Is there a fix?

This is the 3rd probook hackintosh I have built and its the first time I have experienced this problem

Did you test the caddy in Windows to see if it is a hardware problem?

As for OS X setup, no idea without data...

You didn't answer my question regarding Windows.

No, I haven't run windows on any of the probooks I have made, always have gone to installing osx

I have a sneaking suspicion that it could be a hardware related problem...is there a way of ascertaining if that hardware is the drive itself or the caddy I wonder...

The problem seems to occur when big files are being copied over the network or from an external usb drive to the drive in the caddy, but 95% of the time it seems OK.

This question already answered in post #2: Test on Windows.

Will try at some point over the next few days and see if a similar problem occurs with windows

But my original question remains, has anyone else experienced a problem like this when swapping out the DVD for a drive caddy and if so was there a fix for it
