Hello there, Has anyone come across a situation in developing applications (ex. 3D editing/rendering, photoshop, high-res audio) where you needed an NVMe interface as part of your storage workflow, as opposed to SAS/SATA? I know NVMe is pricier, but has anyone come across a situation where the...

Is anyone familiar with how the Slot Utility App functioned on the old Mac Pro? I plan on getting the new Mac Pro 2019, and want to know how bandwidth can be allocated in respect to a lot of the "Pro-Apps" that Apple has teamed up with. If I planned on adding on PCIe NVMe RAID Cards that...

Anyone here using a 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 SSD Enclosure with NVMe PCIe SSD as the Boot Drive? Is building a drive like this better than using a Samsung T5 you think? Will this be reliable for long term?

Hello all, I recently added in a Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 to my 2010 Mac Pro (5,1) via a PCIe Card in one of my internal slots. Since installing, the card will be listed as an external drive on my desktop then minutes after starting (or restarting) my machine it will show that it has been...

Besides switching back to the OEM SSD just to update the EFI firmware. Are there other workarounds? Opening the iMac for each OS Update that requires an updated BootROM will be a pain. If my boot drive is an External NVMe SSD (ex: Samsung X5) will I ever have problems with the BootROM when...

I wonder why nobody is talking about this 3rd Party NVMe SSD upgrade solution for iMacs. I believe they've been around for a while now. Just wanted to know if anyone here has tried upgrading their iMac to this NVMe SSD and how's it so far? https://fledging.net/feather-m13/

Hi everyone! I recently purchased a 2019 iMac 27” with 1TB Fusion Drive and I made a huge mistake by choosing the 1TB Fusion Drive option. I chose Fusion because I knew I can just purchase and use a SATA based SSD as a replacement. But what I didn’t know before is that Apple’s Proprietary NVMe...

The Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 2TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 are under 200 bucks and I am thinking of upgrading my standard SSD. What NVME PCie cards are recommend and known to work well on the 5,1?

So last week I've finally managed to upgrade my iMac when I realised that the 'fusion' portion is actually a normal M.2 drive at the back of the motherboard! I managed to document it below But my main question now is - is the difference between SSD (SATA) and NVME (PCI-E) practically so huge...

Hi, has anyone installed Ubuntu or any other Linux distro on an NVME drive on a 4,1/5,1? I currently have Ubuntu 18.04 running on a cheap san disk ssd. I wouldn't mind Mojave and Ubuntu on an NVME. As I am running Windows on on compatibility mode, I assume that would have to stay within one...

Regarding a classic Mac Pro 5.1 for media work: If you had 1. a faster SSD (NVMe) that connects via PCIe slot and 2. a slower SSD in one of the four harddisc drive bays and 3. an even slower HDD in one of the four harddisc drive bays, which of those 3 would you use for A. Operating...

I just learned (very little) of the NVMe ssd today. I'm simply looking for a fast 2TB SSD, including an enclosure for my 2013 Mac Pro. Would something like this work...

Afternoon all. I had a question about NVMe performance Mac Pro 5,1 Quad Core Xeon with 32GB HS 10.13.6 7950 3GB GPU I went a little cheap on the adapter and boot NVMe (which is still way faster than the SSDs I was using) Drive: Inland Professional 256GB M.2 2280 Gen3x2 SSD...

Hi, I wanted bootable NVMe and Nvidia support, and I knew the 387.10.10.10.40.122 drivers worked OK on 10.13.6 so didn't think anything of applying the prerequisite Mojave firmware 140.0.0.0... then when I tried to install the drivers (using the nvidia-update script on github) it said that there...

Hi all. My history is this. Im buy Samsung 970 EVo Plus. And NVME connector. Installed this all, iMac 18,2 2017. So Disk Utility not visisble internal SSD. Then I thought the connector was broken. And checked it mac air mid 2013 a1466. It worked. I was told that Samsung 970 Evo plus has...

Hi folks. Just ordered the above Mac Pro (12 core for only £700)...so I'm happy with that to replace my core 2 due iMac. The question is around the main SSD. In my iMac I'm running a 1TB SanDisk Sata 3 SSD. The Mac Pro has 1 TB of spinning goodness I believe (SATA) along with a 2TB secondary...
