Hey all. Total noob here when it comes to Hackintosh but not new to tech tinkering. Finally getting my first build going. I bought a gaming PC and decided to turn it into a Hackintosh. I use Final Cut Pro X for a living as a professional videographer so I need all the power and speed I can get. I currently have a ASROCK Z370 Killer SLI?AC MOB, Intel i7 8700K cpu overclocked to 5GHz, GTX 1080ti overclocked, and 16GB DDR4 ram. I have a m.2 drive with windows on it and a HD for storage. My question is....
Should I just go with a standard SSD for my High Sierra install OR pay the extra money for a Samsung 960 PRO m.2 NVMe drive? Will the results and performance be noticeably better and worth the money for use in editing software such as FCPx. Also...If I do need the m.2 drive, do I need enough storage space to hold the files I'm editing as well as OS and apps or if I store my editing files on another SSD am I defeating the purpose of m.2
Hope that all makes sense and someone can give some input. Thanks everyone! Stoked to be joining the community!
