Formatting on a Mac computer
How do I format my device using a Mac computer?
WARNING: Formatting will erase all data on the device. Back up all your data before proceeding.
NOTE: When using a memory card, it is recommended to reformat the card in the camera instead of formatting it through your computer.
To format a device on your Mac OS X:
1. Double-click on Macintosh HD - or in the Finder menu click File > New Finder Window
2. Click the Applications folder - if using a Finder Window Applications will be in the left side menu.
3. Click the Utilities folder.
4. Double-click Disk Utility.
5. On the left side of the window are the drives connected to the computer. Select the capacity of the drive respective to the one containing the device you wish to format then click the Erase tab.
Example: If the drive is called "NO NAME", directly above that, you should see the drive capacity of "XXXX". Select this capacity.
6. Verify Volume Format is set to MS-DOS file system or exFAT, then click Erase.
NOTE: exFAT can be used on flash drives to transfer files larger than 4GB. exFAT is used on SDXC card (64GB and higher).
NOTE: MAC OS 10.6.2 or higher is required for exFAT file system. Some older operating systems must have a patch installed before they can use the exFAT file system.

Okay, so I took the optical bay with the drive out of the MBP started up the computer, connected the SSD via USB. Everything was fine. Could format, restart, the SSD of course would stay formated, then I installed OS X Mavericks onto the external SSD and even could start from the SSD plugged in via USB.
Guess what happened when I put the SSD into the laptop again? Yeah, you're right: The SSD wouldn't show up in the Disk Utility.
I have the idea that maybe the SATA cable from the laptop went a little to easy into the SATA connection from the optical bay hard drive enclosure.
Should I report it to iFixit and just get a new one? Or what's the deal?
