raid

Hello, can someone confirm a SATA RAID Controller such as IBM/LSI ServeRaid M5015 or similar can be used to create a RAID massive in the RAID BIOS Utility to be used as a destination for macOS 12 Monterey? As I understand these controllers have their own BIOS where it is possible to create a...

Hi there, I've been using AppleRAID on two HDD as RAID 0 in Mojave with Clover with no problems. And now that I have a new boot SSD with OpenCore on Big Sur, the OpenCore picker won't appear unless I boot without one (and one specific) RAID member disk. The last lines that OpenCore stuck at...

Hi Everyone So, I have used a RAID created directly in Disk Utility on Sierra. Now, I just bought a new rig, with Z370 and will use High Sierra (and Mojave ASAP). IF i create a new RAID through Gigabyte BIOS options, this RAID will be visible to macOS? Or I can create as usual? Best regards

Hey guys. I tried creating 2 partitions on both a HDD and an SSD. I want the fast boot times, but I want all the User files and applications to be stored on a HDD as I only have a 120GB SSD and I want to put Windows 10 on it as well. Anyway, I took one partition from each drive and created a...

Hi, I have a DELL R710 with a PERC H700 RAID Controller. To my knowledge the controller is based off LSI SAS 2108. I have googled and found this forum post and something about kext, I would imagine a driver like this would be built into the installer...

Since a few revisions of Clover ago, my Hackintosh freezes during Clover's "Scan Entries" everytime I have the sata cables attached to my Apple software RAID drives. There are strange graphics glitches drawn at the top of the screen too. If I disconnect one of the cables, it boots fine, and I...

Hi all, I've got a very smoothly running Sierra build that I am trying very very hard not to mess up. Thing is, it's all running on 2012 hardware; even if it's still plenty for my needs, I'm starting to see the need for some extra speed especially for larger files. So in comes RAID0: I have a...

Ok I'm desperately trying to get my head around High Sierra and APFS using Raid... everything I've read says it doesn't work and having tried, I can confirm it doesn't work! Currently I have high Sierra booting of a HFS+ raid 0 SSD but this is stopping the update to 10.13.2 supplementary. I...

Hi all - So I am slowly gathering the components to build a hackintosh bearing Sierra 10.12 on it. I will have a SSD where everything will reside but I also have about 5x 3TB HDDs (SATA3) that I intend to configure to be used as a RAID volume in this build (for video editing). Is there...

Is it possible and are there motherboards that feature onboard RAID? My strategy (given SSD prices), is to buy 5-6 cheaper, and lower capacity SATA SSD's and set them up in either a RAID 0 or RAID 5. Basically, all I need is performance and would consider the storage as disposable. If it goes...

Hello, I built a CustoMac mATX with a Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 mATX board months ago and I love it. I need to add 4 more drives to my setup, but my board is maxed out. Can anyone recommend a reliable raid/expansion card that will work with OSX Sierra and run as JBOD? Any advice/personal...

Hi, I want to have the benefits of increased storage capacity and faster response times by combining an SSD and an HDD, much like an Apple Fusion Drive. Is it advisable to do this on a Hackintosh? Here is an article which I read on how to make a DIY Fusion Drive. Is this a good option, or are...

Hello. I'm new to these forums although i've been reading them for 2 years or so... I was thinking of installing Mac OS on my PC together with windows in UEFI mode (i read you can boot from both with clover) now that the nvidia webdrivers are out. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z170 X UD3, and...

Hey chaps, I'm trying to make a specific build that will support a 2012 iMac as a display screen as well as 2 other standard 1080p screens AND 2 thunderbolt 2 drives in raid config. I also want to be able to use a gtx1060. so my thoughts turned to the thunderboltex 3 from ASUS and a compatible...

Hello, I just made DELL PowerEdge R710 finally booted into OSX using Clover but from the external USB drive because of the RAID issue: none of my HDDs are visible! I have 1x SATA SSD, 1x RAID0 SAS (2x HDD), 1x SATA HDD - NONE of them is available in Disk Utility. Also, I am using EVGA GeForce...

Hello Folks, Almost a year ago. I read a forum post on another website of of a guy named xxredxpandaxx modding an old apple XRAID. Essentially Gutting the unit and painstakingly soldering sata through the mother board to allows the caddies to hold SATA drives. It was a great idea and it got me...

Hi, I have the following parts: motherboard: gigabyte ga-z170x designare 2 x hdd: western digital red 4tb 1 M.2 Samsung evo 500gb. Today I successfully installed Sierra on M.2 sdd. Now I would like to set raid mode to the other western digital hdds. In according to motherboard guide, it specify...

Ok so many have tried....few have succeeded but I think I have a good plan in place and am off to a good start. The plan is to convert an Xserve Raid to be used as a JBOD/ SAS expander back to a NAS server or Hackintosh raid controller. This will allow me to keep the case and all of the...

I purhcased and modded a nice used Dell t3600 Xeon system with a C600 chipset to use as a backup system and fileserver, thinking that because it had six onboard SATA ports it would be perfect. However, what I found out is that only two of the SATA ports work, the other four are controlled by...

I've been able to install Mac OS X Mavericks and Yosemite. However with the recent update to El Capitan and Sierra, RAID hard drives are no longer supported which is what my computer uses. Is there any way around this and get it to install anyway?
