you would have to wait until they update the software when new versions of opencore comes out

or use a plist editor like PlistEditPro or Xcode

I went to see PlistEditPro, and I don't think I have the required knowledge. I will look to Opencore Auxillary Tools to see what it can offer. Thanks!

Whichever makes you happy. However, if I were you I would take the time the time to learn how to edit a plist file. It's not overwhelming I promise.

The 1TB SN850X has really good specs for the low price. It sells for less than the older SN850. It's actually on backorder at Newegg right now. Can't find any for sale on Amazon.com. The Samsung 980 Pro 1TB sells for $138 on Amazon but as we know, it's not macOS compatible so it would have to be used as a boot drive for Windows/Linux only.

Really can't do better for a Monterey or Ventura boot drive on a PCIe 4.0 board. Just the IOPS rated at 800,000 to 1.1 million are mind boggling fast. Best if the firmware is updated (in windows) first before installing macOS to the drive. Durability should be just as good as the Samsnung 980 Pro drives.

I have a Samsung 980 Pro, and it works great in macOS.

Which macOS are you running?

Which macOS are you running?

Ventura - Monterey.OC 0.8.6

Ventura - Monterey.OC 0.8.6

Very cool, how's your read/write speeds looking?

 

[RUSSKIYVOLK]

Yes, I myself was glad that the 980 Pro works like a watch, but I won't tell you about the speed now, because I installed Windows 11 on it, and my macOS is on a Samsung 860 or 850 EVO. Subjectively, there were no problems with the download speed and the rest. Everything worked very quickly. I swear!

New SSDs added to the recommended list of the Buyer's Guide

I wouldn't worry about it then. Some people are reporting that they boot quickly after a fresh reformat and install, then the boot times begin to increase. I would just keep an eye on it, set the boot time to max, and if it starts to lag, then maybe look into changing it if it bugs you. I have...

I now have VTD in IOReg. Thanks. Now is there another step? Cheers!

That's great news. And just confirming, in your config are you dropping DMAR tables? I'm not saying you need to, just curious.

Hi again @NorthAmTransAm, I've been running your EFI flawlessly (except for sleep which is not very important as I leave my machine on 24/7)

I've updated OC to the latest 0.8.6, and I've been trying to upgrade from Ventura 13.0 to 13.0.1 for a week now. The software update in System Settings throws a 'Your Mac is up to date' message, and I couldn't find a way to test the new version. Currently csutil and spctl are disabled. I've tried enabling both but it's still the same. Serial number is also valid. Any advice or have you managed to update to the latest Ventura version?

Update: I tried installing Ventura from App Store, and I have to download a whole 12.15GB of installer. Is this the only method or is there any other way? My experience on older hackintoshes (not on this hardware setup) were able to update directly from System Settings when running on Monterey, Catalina, etc.
