Hi there,
I just noticed a very strange behaviour with my SSDs. They fill up very quickly, although there is very little data on it. I already checked on my system profile, and for trim it says "yes" on all ssds. I never had this issue before, I am running the latest EFI.
Any ideas what it could be?
Also on my portable SSD I couldn't erase it with my Hackintosh, I had to use my Macbook Pro...View attachment 370642View attachment 370642
The EFI will not take up space on your primary partition. It could be snapshots that are taking up space or hibernation file.
See here on how to delete snapshots:

To disable Hibernate:
Resource: [Guide] Native Power Management for Laptops | tonymacx86.com
*Direct quote from above guide:
"Be aware that hibernation (suspend to disk or S4 sleep) is not supported on hackintosh.
You should disable it:
Code:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage
And it may be a good idea to disable the other hibernation related options:"
Code:
sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
If these don't clear up your disk space then it has to be some app/setting that you are using.
Don't know why you can't erase an SSD.
