nvmeboot

Hi All, I was searching around the threads for the answer, but can't seem to find it. I have a 2009 cMP 5,1 that I've updated to Big Sur (11.2.3). Used OCLP since it seemed like just a quick way to get set up. I loaded everything onto a 2.5" SSD in bay 1 from the USB drive, but I want to use a...

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 there, I am planning to upgrade my 4,1 MacPro. I have a question I could not find answers here in the Forum: - when "upgrading" to Mojave and installing Bootrom 144.0.0.0 is it still possible to keep the 10.9. installed and boot on one of the harddrives? I would do a clean install on another...

Hi guys, To be honest with you, I am lost. I have currently explored most NVME & Windows related topics already on MacRumors, but I am just not finding that specific answer, or I am maybe interpreting it differently. My setup is is a converted 4.1 to 5.1 Mac Pro with: (upgraded) 3,33 GHz...

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But there is no download link Nvme.ffs.zip in it (This version of NVMe.ffs is outdated) Is it okey to take nvme.ffs...

If this has been addressed before I apologize - I couldn't find it. I have a 4,1 w/ firmware update to 5,1. Running Sierra and Maverick. I did do the 1.4 update to be able to run nvme bootable as I was running High Sierra with an Sapphire Pulse RX580 but moved that setup to another MacPro...

So yesterday I began looking into upgrading my MacPro 5,1 storage and looking a the new 140.0.0.0.0 bootrom firmware that supports native NVMe boot, i took the plunge and bought two 500GB Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2 blades and two Vantech M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 Adapters. Why 2 of each? Well, I wanted to...

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!

Recently I found that my macbook is running out of storage and the old internal ssd is going much slower, so I decided to buy a samsung 960 pro 512GB along with 12+16 adapter to upgrade my storage. I reinstalled High Sierra on my old Apple SSD to update the BootROM, and then I switched out the...

Hi, I read the report done by gilles_polysoft and http://macbidouille.com/news/2017/07/14/suite-des-tests-de-ssd-pc-dans-nos-mac, it shows that Macbook Pro Mid 2015 with third party NVMe drive is not bootable by unknown reason. After a bit of research, I found this thread...

Hi! I read about the NVMe cards that aren't bootable because the EFI rom (off course) doesn't list them at the boot manager. The first thing i learned when fiddling around with a hackintosh (back in '05 with deadmoo image) was the "rd=" option. So since i already successfully booted OSX from an...
