2nd ssd can't unmount or write after update

I have a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro i7. Intel chipset is series 5 it says.
I bought a new intel ssd that I put into the main drive bay, and then I put the Apple/Intel SSD drive that I had in previously into the Optical bay.
The drive is fully readable but no write operations are permitted.
I have checked permissions, and it is totally fine, read/write for everyone even (777) and yet I cannot copy files, rename files, delete files or create files on the drive. I cannot unmount the drive with disk utilities either.
If i boot up into the Lion recovery image I have the same issue, the dive still won't get any love.
I noticed when I look at 'about this mac -> storage" the main bay drive is listed as "Solid State SATA" but the 2nd drive is listed as "Flash Storage".
I am pretty confident this worked totally fine when I had Snow Leopard installed, but after update it stopped working.
Pulling my hair out I have since formatted both drives (by removing and connecting via USB) and installed a clean version of Lion on the may bay drive, and simply have formatted the 2nd drive as Journaled HSF+
===
My theory at this point is that Lion has updated some drivers that no longer work against the optical bay + ssd, or Lion has added a built in restriction to prevent 2 SSD SATA connections for some reason.
I have tried swapping the drives and when I do, whichever drive is in the optical bay has the same issues.
Any ideas. There are a few other people on different boards that have this same issue, so I'd love to pass along any solution I find.
Thanks in advance!   

Make type brand model? that might help.

  • How can i recover my voicemails after updating my iPhone?

    How can i recover my voicemails after updating my iPhone?

    When one restores an iPhone from its own backup, visual voicemail is also restored. However, when one restores a new iPhone from a backup from a previous phone, the voicemails fail to restore. This occurred between my 3G to 4s, and again from the 4s to a 5s. Restoring the 4s once from its own backup resulted in voicemail recovery.
    My only explanation is that when a different SIM card is used, voicemails cannot restore as one would otherwise expect. Perhaps voicemails are inexplicably tied to their SIMs. Unfortunately, newer models of iPhones tend to use exceedingly different sizes, rendering one possible fix unpursuable. iBackupBot is the other possible solution: you can extract the voicemails from the backup and restore them onto the new iPhone individually.

  • Why can't I use siri after updated to ios 6.1

    why can't I use siri after updated to ios 6.1

    Check your settings to make sure Siri is actually enabled.  Sometimes I find that Siri will disable during the updating process.  Oh, and it should be iOS 6.0 not 6.1.  6.1 doesn't exist...yet.

    Same as you would do with any battery issue before you updated:  restore the phone as NEW, not using backup at all.

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

    How I can closed all open application after update to iOS 7.0.2.0?? Before this v iOS7 we was can closed any application's open :(

    There's no good way to do it.  But you don't need to.  iOS 7 automatically handles whether an application takes up memory or has files open.  There's no real advantage to you ever closing an application yourself.
    If you are having problems with a particular app, please describe them.
