Anyone has experience with Apple Software Raid using 2 X M2 Nvme Samsung 960EVO 1TB drives?
Is it reliable?
Thanks

Is necessary WhateverGreen.kext v1.1.7 for the rx 580 sapphire pulse? , I've tried it and it works OOB.

I try in kexts/other in clover hdd and i do not see difference......... I do not know what this kext does ........ what do you recommend?

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

I am unable to install latest Clover (v2.4k_r4439) on my mac running (10.11.6) in order to create an USB 10.13.4 installer for my Hackintosh. That's why I use UniBeast, which works.

No matter, I understand ;-)
So you have a Mac:
I think this may not be a problem with your Mac, but sometimes I have a problem with a USB drive and I am unable to manage creating an install media or installing Clover on EFI on it.
You have linked on the other station to have a problem with the disk utility to erase:
Can you try: run the disk utility, partition chosen, partition, type GUID, HFSJ + file format, if it returns error, disk utility, erase it can work: note that El Capitan disk utility is sometimes buggy compared to Yosemite or Sierra.
So, if that does not work, try another USB, or a Linux Gparted CD (you can burn it on Mac)

If it makes you feel any better, most of the time my Apple grey keyboard didn't work in Windows Bootcamp with the imac pro.
So getting BT keyboard in the BIOS or clover doesn't worry me one bit.
Thats BT stops working after putting the machine to sleep and having to restart under Windows, now that's a worry.

I got my machine back and received the OSXWindows WiFi card. I got a water cooling custom loop fitted. Will test on Monday see if it's any better.

I have to reconnect the wireless Apple (non iMac Pro space gray) keyboard in Windows by holding down the power button every time. I just went ahead and ordered a new Apple wired keyboard for $85 off ebay (cheapest I could find for new). I don't want to deal with this issue

OSXWifi will work fine I think since it's a MacBook Air card and requires no kexts. At least you'll have less issues...

There is a clone out there but I hate the big plus key on the numeric keypad. -- https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1359222-REG/matias_fk318s_matias_wired_aluminum_keyboard.html?ap=y&c3api=1876,91442436602,,&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7Zecq8vN2gIVBJ7ACh1OHg0fEAQYASABEgJrgvD_BwE

Yeah I saw that one. Maybe the keys won't feel like the actual Apple keys, so I just went ahead and ordered a real new wired keyboard for $85 off ebay. It should come in next week.

Does anyone else have issues with Netflix in Safari needing Silverlight or iTunes movies playing with a black screen? Wasn't sure if I was missing anything to get these to work with an Nvidia card. I've tried the latest version of Shiki.

Whenever I try to use dual screens or change the refresh rate on my monitors, the system freezes. is this a driver issue or something wrong with the boot ?

I need to test the new space gray full keyboard from apple since they don't sell wired ones anymore at the stores. That might have "fixed" this issue.

I didn't find grey keyboard on Apple page, where is it sold?
