JDLopez Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I just completed the Security Update 2016-007 for Yosemite. I lost functionality of my eSATA external port. I use the external port to keep up with my backups on an external hard drive. Worked fine before the update. Anyone else experience this problem?

Administrators Hervé Posted December 28, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 28, 2016 Security updates often/usually re-instate vanilla kexts so if you had patched kexts in SLE, it's possible they got overwritten. You may want to rebuild your cache to begin with. Can't say I've used eSATA much but those ports usually work OOB afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDLopez Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Cache was the problem...I'm still a noob at all this , so didn't know where to look! Just rebooted without cache and it's functional again. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
