[GUIDE] Catalina on HP EliteDesk 800 G4/G5 Mini - The Perfect MacMini8,1 Hackintosh - CLOVER & OC

[taskrov]

I am considering buying this mini. Per HP Manual this supports a SATA drive. Can anyone tell me if these come with a cage for a 2.5" drive? I want to dual boot Windows and Macos.

You'll more likely get a response if you post in the current HP G4/G5 mini thread that's still active.

@trs96 I bought a HP ProDesk 600 G4 Mini per your suggestion. What a beautiful piece of hardware. I am wondering if I got a brand new one. It was immaculate and still sealed, only a few months out of HP warranty. It has a HDD cage and two M.2 slots. I installed Ventura on it on the first try as Macmini 8,1. Thanks.

Do you still have the link to the Amazon seller you bought it from ?

Amazon.com: HP Prodesk 600 G4 Desktop Intel Core i5-8500T 2.20 GHz 8 GB 500GB Windows 10 Pro (Renewed) : Electronics

It looks like it went up in price by $50. When I ordered mine there was only one left.

I have thunderbolt 3(hp thunderbolt flex io card) on my hackintosh(Elitedesk 800 G5 mini), I have flashed the modified firmware but I don't know how to enable force power.

in windows：There are relevant instructions for the Thunderbolt 3 driver provided by Intel

I have one of these cards coming in the post.

Do you have any informaiton on the firmware you flashed it with and how?
Have you had any luck on enabling it under mac osx yet and forcing the power ?
