I started up my Hackintosh, which is built pretty much exactly like a 2014 iMac, and let it idle for 15 minutes. I don't have much installed, nothing that does any major disk reading. Upon boot, it immediately says that 1.66GB has been read, so by the end there hasn't been much read or written beyond that initial boot up.

You’re welcome!

I don’t think 350MB is anything to worry about, it’s going to depend on what applications you have, how much iCloud data you’re syncing (like if you get a lot of messages, emails, if you have iCloud photos enabled) so that seems pretty reasonable to me.

hi
don't you think that installing macos on a different hardware
could damage it?
thanks

Could running macOS on a non-Mac hardware damage the hardware? No - not really; I’ve been running mine for over 3 years now with little issue.

It is against Apple’s Terms of Service, so it’s not strictly proper or legal, but then Apple hasn’t never gone after anyone for using a Hackintosh.

It’s definitely not for the feint of heart - it’s a good bit of work setting one up and there’s always the risk that something may not work as expected that could result in a buggy system or worse, data loss.

Issues in my hackintosh? Mostly things like sleeping, power management, nitty gritty stuff that could be fixed but requires sitting down and creating special configuration files to fix.

I do also have a 2013 MacBook Air that I use often for lightweight usage like creating documents and browsing :)
