Today I re-installed my Cubietruck as it was really outdated.

It had: Linux cubietruck 3.4.105-cubieboard #8 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 23 06:11:42 EST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux still running without issues.

 

I reformatted the SD card with: ARMBIAN 5.65 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.78-sunxi

Configured everything and now I want to move the data to my SSD. (just as I had before)

 

However dmesg shows me: 

cubietruck ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)

 

What did i miss??

 

 

 

As the SSD was quite old. I removed it from the cubietruck.

Added it to a PC... but no response.

 

I had a spare SSD available and added that one to the Cubietruck.

So pretty much I have to guess my old SSD went DEAD.
