Evening all. I have a cMP 5,1 running 10.13.6 and boot ROM MP51.0089.B00. I cannot upgrade to Mojave yet as the professional software I use (Pro Tools) is not yet stable with it. I have an Angelbird PX1 with a 1TB Adata SX8200Pro in it. For the life of me, I cannot get it to be recognized in...

Hello dear users! BEWARE this post is long-ish.. I decided to step up my music production game and I am slowly planning on selling my good ol' Tower Mac Pro 2008. I recently bought an iMac 2015 that was on sale locally on Gumtree. Beautiful machine with 64GB Ram, i7 processor, 2tb fusion...

It's a pretty common issue to have slow boot times now with external ssds connected with USB 3 or USB-C, but does this problem still exist with TB3 NVMe external drives (such as a Samsung X5)?

Hi everyone, new user here from Italy. I was wondering which SSD I should use for my MacBook Pro 15 mid 2014. I'm currently using the original 250GB, but I would like to replace it with a bigger one because in the future I need to install in parallel Windows 10 using bootcamp. I would like to...

Hello I have Late 27" 2015 A1419 iMac. I installed a new PCIe SSD and sometimes it won’t recognize it. When it does recognize it, it works fine until my computer goes to sleep (or deep sleep?). When I wake the computer up, it restarts because of a problem, a panic report corresponding to...

Hi there! I am planning on buying a 2009/2010 Mac Pro for my editing and color grading work. Since these computers now support nvme boot drives I have decided to go with a samsung evo 970. I have bought a pcie card that can hold two drives at once, hoping that I could raid 0 them to gain more...

Hello, I am curious if it is possible to swap a 2013 Macbook Air logic board with a MBA 2017 logic board. I saw some post at (Upgrade MacBook Air A1466 i5 2013 logic board with a newer one 2015) claimed that he successfully installed a 2015 logic board on a 2013 MBA body. Since the logic board...

I made a video showing how to build your own fast external NVMe SSD: I am using this setup with a Macbook Pro and will continue to use it as a boot drive with the new Mac Mini. I am thinking that it is the best way to get a fast and large SSD without becoming poor at the same time. Sonnet...

I recently got my new Mac Pro up & running (a Mid 2012), and because in the short term I've moved my hard drives over from my previous Mac Pro (a Mid 2009), I currently have the following installed: 2 x 1TB Hard Drives, configured as a single 2TB volume via RAID 0. This volume is the boot...

Hi, I've been itching to replace my SATA SSD boot drive with an NVMe one (plus PCI card, probably a cheapie). But I'm not sure if it's worth it. How much faster would Mojave boot on NVMe at 1500MB/s or 3000MB/s compared to a SATA SSD? Did anyone happen to do a timed test? Thanks!

Sometimes there are just too many good options... :P I am developing a plan for a Mac Pro server for a client of mine, and have been planning an SSD RAID5 for the main data store. I was liking this pretty cool solution from MaxUpgrades that situates 4 SAS or SATA SSDs in an optical bay, and...

Hello everyone, Now that I have migrated successfully to 10.14.1 on my Mac Pro 4,1 (Early 2009) I have a few questions about adding NVMe in slot 3. I already have 1,2 & 4 of PCIe slots occupied : 1. Sonnet Tempo SSD Adapter Card (w/ Samsung 850 Pro 265gb) 2. Sonnet Alegro USB 3.0 PCIe Card 3...

I have a Mid 2014 MBP that I installed a NVMe hard drive (Samsung EVO 960) in a while ago. It works perfectly (aside from hibernation) running High Sierra. It also works fine in Win 10 or Arch Linux. I can use dd to zero out the partition info on the drive, initialize with only mojave off a...

Some questions about the latest Samsung 970 SSD blades: 1. Is there much to gain, aside from some write endurance, on our Mac Pro towers by choosing a Samsung 970 PRO over the EVO, assuming the 500/512GB or 1TB capacity fills our needs? I realize there's some add'l performance in the PRO, but...

Heya! I saw gilles_polysoft made a miracle and gave our dusty machines to native NVMe abilities. I look at his twitter and he can edit Apple Efi with UEFITool. I am familiar with this kind of editing. I just ask myself to why didn't Apple release efi/bootrom files to public for corruption or...
