Why is Mac OS X not installed on Kingston SSD 240GB?

Good afternoon!
Edit. Spent a few more attempts to revive my SSD on a Mac - no success. So the general situation.
I have a Kingston SUV300S37A/240G SSD and a Macbook Pro Late 2008 A1286.
History of the problem.There was a Macbook Pro Early 2008, I decided to bring it back to life (the graphics adapter flew off), I bought an SSD. Graph. the adapter was changed in the service. SSD soon inserted. The system started up with a bang. Everything is ok, but they put in the wrong adapter for me, it cut the video memory in half. I gave it to the service, they said that they don’t have normal adapters and I gave them my Macbook, they paid extra 2000 and gave the amount for the repair. I have a second Macbook Pro Late 2008 A1286. It didn't have an SSD. In general, it was standard 4GB, 256MB, 250GB, 2.4GHz. I doubled the RAM (up to 8GB). Decided it was time to put in an SSD. I insert, the previous system did not start. Decided to reinstall. I insert the flash drive, run the installation (without formatting). Left for the night. In the morning, and 50% was not. I almost went crazy, SSD, and such a speed. Hurry to the Internet, I read it, everyone was dumped on a train. Okay, ordered. I inserted a cable, the HDD speed increased, it was about 30Mb / s, it became 50Mb / s. Inserted an SSD. I decided to format it just in case (I'm not ready to wait another 12 hours). I enter Partition, select partition 1, name MacHD, HFS +, GUID. It quickly reaches half, gives an error:

Partition failed. Couldn't unmount disk
. And I was only delighted ... I went to cry. I go to the Internet. They say a train, a lot of all sorts of instructions, but most do not help anyone. Some topics on the forum lasted 2-4 pages and never found a solution. I despaired. (All this time the SSD was inserted into the HDD bay). I also read that it might be launched in Optibay. Ordered an Optibay. A bright thought came, well, since you can’t unmount it from the inside, then you can via USB. I insert the HDD, start the system, connect my SSD via USB. Everything is fine, I formatted the disk, I also installed the system right away (Successfully, pretty quickly). I start directly from USB, it started with a bang. That's just through USB 2.0 speed of 30Mb / s. Decided to insert into the HDD bay. And run through SATA. It starts to load - barely crawls to the end in 5-10 minutes and gets stuck there. It turns out I just launched a picture with an underlined apple! Brought it out. Threw this business up to Optibay. He came a month later. I put it in. To celebrate, I decide to run the system delivered via USB. No. Same story with the underlined apple. I think, well, maybe he wants to be established in a new way. I'm formatting the disk. And again. Same error. I read the Internet. Now in English. On the Apple forum, I saw instructions on the command line (how to force the disk to be formatted from there). I do the following commands: diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ MacHD disk0 (gives the same error), diskutil unmountDisk forse disk0 (Successfully, I spit it out), diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ MacHD disk0. Same error. I read the Internet. Now in English. On the Apple forum, I saw instructions on the command line (how to force the disk to be formatted from there). I do the following commands: diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ MacHD disk0 (gives the same error), diskutil unmountDisk forse disk0 (Successfully, I spit it out), diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ MacHD disk0. Same error. I read the Internet. Now in English. On the Apple forum, I saw instructions on the command line (how to force the disk to be formatted from there). I do the following commands: diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ MacHD disk0 (gives the same error), diskutil unmountDisk forse disk0 (Successfully, I spit it out), diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ MacHD disk0.And then it gives me a new error :
Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed
. I go to the Internet. The recommendations are still the same as for the previous error, except that some still offered instructions for shamanism with Disk Utility. I tried, nothing helps. I think - well, at least for storing files, how to format it ?! A thought came. I insert the old HDD, SSD into Optibay, start the system. I go to Disk Utility, I try to format. Again the "Wiping .." error. I tried again to shamanize via USB. Formatted again successfully. I decided to install the system already from the inside. I insert, I start installation. It starts to install, writes: "14 minutes left", then "13 minutes left", then "31 minutes left", then "40 minutes left", then it gives an error that the type could not be installed. Offers no explanation. He just didn't succeed and that's it. All. On this, I continued to do chaotic actions, naively thinking that for no reason at all it would be formatted and installed, but ... I, again, I will say, I was too naive. Ah, yes. Forgot to mention. In between some of the steps, I tried to tinker on a Windows PC. I inserted it there (I have a stationary rather old computer). Winda was only glad that they inserted an SSD into it, shavala, reads and writes at a speed of about 350MB / s. I downloaded the utility from the Kingston official website, it said that the disk is alive and well, all clusters are intact. The firmware, he says, does not need to be updated, the newest. I performed, so to speak, a rollback to the factory state, clicked Secure Erase. Winda was delighted with him again, but I didn’t let her format it, and left it completely empty, even without markup. Inserted into Macbook. Same error. All the same, nothing has changed. naively thinking that for no reason at all it will be formatted and installed, but ... I, again, I will say, I was too naive.

My strength is gone. IT IS NECESSARY to sit with Mac for so long. In my opinion, this is a pretty perfect car, but here it is such a mess.
Kingston support wrote that they only support SATA II and SATA III, they can’t say anything about SATA I. Well, it worked for me on my old Macbook.......
PLEASE HELP. Well, I don't really have the strength to sit on it. I think he is hopeless. Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot in advance! :)

I experienced a similar problem, dug for 3 days, in the end everything worked out. Then I connected a new SSD to an old Macbook. The problem was that downloading from the Internet did not work due to the old firmware (even after updating this very firmware, it still did not work) + a clean, unbroken SSD invisible to the poppy system + crooked boot disks did not want to start normally. As a result, I used the utility for the macOS itself, cut the image (which I found on torrents) of Mac OS Lion and installed everything without problems (after which I just upgraded to Captain).
I reconnected HDD<-->SSD 10 times, but it was worth it. The old MacBook began to work like new without a single glitch + his majesty SSD makes itself felt. Tomorrow I'll write what tool I used.
In the meantime, look for a 16 GB flash drive and download a clean OS Lion image with a USB prefix (not for hackintosh).

A similar situation was, inserted into the macbook pro (2010) ssd kingston hyperx savage on 240gb
when installing macos from the Internet, half of the installation goes into reboot.
It was possible to install only after creating a bootable USB flash drive.
But after installation, the laptop only worked for a day normally, then a couple of times an hour it went into reboot.
I returned hdd, and I will put ssd in Win-PC, and macbook pro will now be just a player.

exactly the same problem, with ssd from samsung. I don't know what to do anymore. SSD serviceable and the cable could not become unusable.
