At work we all have brand new mac's. One of the guys mac's is down. I helped him with the Command + Option + R + P to wipe the NVRAM and try again. Also they have shutdown problems on real mac's. I see lots of Outlook corruption of the mail file for the mailbox, probably due to shutdown, sleep, etc.
There's really nothing to do with these SSDs, you can't pull 'em and then put them into my tower and diagnose or fix. I don't use SSDs at home, dont trust them (I use only RE4's). So with a hackintosh there's no NVRAM to get corrupted, you can pull the drive out and put a new one in (try that on a MacBook Pro), and shutdown is cleaner than on a real mac.
Now I have them all opening a terminal, sudo su, and shutdown -h now on their real macs because they've had problems with sleep shutdown on their macs.
Once a real mac with integrated SSD goes bad or gets corrupted, and the NVRAM goes south, a hackintosh is a lot easier to fix.
