Early 2011 MacBook Pro has prohibitory sign on boot after SSD upgrade
This problem has been happening ever since I installed this new SSD.
I recently bought a Lexar NS100 256GB SSD for my MacBook Pro, as the HDD inside was painfully slow in macOS. I received it and as soon as I got it in, I decided to install Mac OS X Lion, just to see how fast it was. After install, it booted just fine with no problems at all. Apps opened quickly and swiftly. So, I decided to run Internet Recovery on High Sierra. I formatted the drive twice before installing it. As soon as it restarted, I got a prohibitory symbol. It would flicker between the Apple logo and the symbol, sometimes booting into macOS fine after. But, this problem has been noticeable on Windows as well, with the OS refusing to boot until I restart a couple of times. Other people online who have had this issue seemed like it’s the hard drive cable. But it seems to be in pristine condition (that might be because my eyes are kinda bad too). I have another laptop to try the SSD in, but I just want to make sure that this is the confirmed problem before I spend my money on a new cable. Here’s a video of the laptop going to the prohibitory sign, then booting completely fine after.

And so @CGamez? Was the problem solved by changing the HD SATA cable?
