nvme

Hi All and thanks in advance for any advice. I've searched the forum and sticky SSD thread but can only find this issue as regards MBPs not Mac Pro. I'm currently running a Mac Pro 4,1 2x 2.26 flashed to a 5,1. I have recently upgraded the machine to Mojave on a PCIe SSD and I am now having...

Hi All, I am getting persistent NVMe Kernel Panics on a 13" 2017 MacBook Pro Non Touch Bar a1708. Please see below the full Kernel Panic report. The Kernel Panics happen only when the laptop is on battery power and only when the charge goes below 70%. The issue doesn't happen when it's plugged...

Hi there, I recently bought a 512Gb NVMe M.2 ssd from verbatim as it was really cheap and I also bought the adapter on eBay so that it'd fit in my macbook (the adapter is from sintech) but after installing it, the ssd doesn't show up in disk utility or ubuntu terminal, I tried so many different...

So I recently stumbled across the thread for the SSD adapter for the 2016/2017 Macbook Pro Non-touch bar: (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/found-this-adaptor-for-2016-2017-non-touch-bar-for-ssd-upgrades.2231881/) I decided to buy the Sabrent 1tb 2242 SSD and the adapter. I'm just waiting...

I recently purchased a 500GB Samsung X5 external TB3 drive that I intend on installing a larger NVMe and using it as my primary boot drive on my Late 2012 iMac. It is currently getting averages of 807MBps Write and 880MBps Read speeds with the original NVMe. While it is far from slow, and much...

I am looking into upgrading my Mac Pro 6,1 from the original 1TB SSD to a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB. I have read a lot of recommendations saying to use the EKWB heat sink with it. Many of the reviews for EKWB heat sink state that it’s very hard to get both clips on the Samsung 970 EVO. Does...

Recently I tried a Samsung X5 external Nvme M.2 SSD, connected via Thunderbolt 3 to an end-2017 Imac, pumped up on steroids with 64 Gb Ram (OWC 2666 Mhz DDR4 SODIMM PC4-21400). Yes the 2666 Mhz are working even it that model is using 2400 Mhz originally (the advantage, in case you buy a new Imac...

I've just installed a Sabrent 2TB NVMe drive using the kryoM.2 evo PCIe adapter. The install was easy and the drive is now visible as a PCI-Express External drive. My machine is a mid 2010 5.1 cMP running macos 10.14.6. My intention is to use this new drive to act as the system disk...

I am finally getting around to upgrading my macpro5,1. Without hardware background, it's been quite a learning curve. Thank goodness for forums like this and videos. So far I've installed a Sapphire Radeon RX 580 and a new HDD in bay 3. I just did a clean install of Mojave and confirmed my Boot...

So I've just ordered this bad boy in the attachment. It's an adapter to fit a M.2 NVMe SSD into the 12+16 pin slot on my MacBook Pro Retina 2015. Since it's not one of the two known brands (Sintech and Chanyang), I'm looking for some user experiences with this specific brandless generic...

Sold my previous 5,1 Mac Pro to fund my 2019 MacBook Pro i9/16GB/512/560x in July to learn video editing with Final Cut Pro. I thought the 512GB base storage would be enough but found out after a few months that it wasn't. I still have my Crucial 1TB nvme from my Mac Pro, so I went and bought an...

Like the title says, I’m looking for a decent TB3 enclosure for a Sabrent 1TB NVMe pci-e 3.0 ssd. It’s a one sided model and has both writing and reading speeds over 3000 mb/s. I’ve already checked the forum but most of the topics were from previous years. The comments on Amazon are also...

Hey Guys I really need help to choose a new SSD nvme hard drive for my 6,1 Macpro. I saw on Amazon the EVO 970 1To at 189€ but also Sabrent Rocket 2TB for 299€. Is Sabrent as good as Evo 970 ? What SSD do you recommend for 6,1 Macpro ? and what Heatsink model should I buy ? thanks a lot !!

My late-2015 27" iMac has been feeling slow lately when there's a lot of disk access going on (like when running VMWare). It's pretty clear the bottleneck is the existing 2.2TB fusion drive. I was thinking of replacing the stock drive components with a 2TB NVMe, but then was wondering if some...

hey Guys, Would appreciate some help. Last wee while I've been getting random kernel panics, usually when the Mac isn't being used but not in sleep, ie when I get up to make a coffee and come back... While another forum post stated it was compatable, I have a feeling it might be the NVME PCIE...

I have a Mac Pro 5,1 that has been running great. Running Mojove 10.14.6 For about a year I've used a M.2 Evo 750 NVME in PCI slot 3 drive as my primary drive with my OS and its worked fine. I shut down my machine last night and when I booted it up this AM it would chime but nothing showed on...

I just bought a nifty M.2 NVMe enclosure for a 1TB SSD, and using USB 3.1 gen 2 get a remarkable...and more to the point, noticeable...speed boost when accessing photo libraries. Now, of course, I discover that TRIM isn't supported for external USB drives. Part of me thinks I should turn a...

Hi guys I just got a new 1tb internal ssd for my 2015 13 MacBook pro and i would like to convert the old ssd into an external drive. I did a little research on the internet and found out apple's proprietary ssd interface makes it almost impossible to do so (although a company called OWC offered...

Hello! I want to make my mp 3,1 nvme bootable. I found this guide https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WNkM9LuGPq1sArO9EedWBHYq14NU7m-mDBLAWWJipyM/edit#heading=h.y6vzhgmlx3sx But there is no download link Nvme.ffs.zip in it (This version of NVMe.ffs is outdated) Is it okey to take nvme.ffs...

(Cross post from r/macpro, sorry for those who already seen this post...) Hi guys, I'm currently having read and write speed issues using an NVMe U.2 SSD through a PCIe adapter. Using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, I get a little more than 500MB/s write speed and around 420MB/s read speed which...
