For what it's worth I have a Sabrent 2TB Rocket which is ~95% full. I have been using this with zero problems for ~3 years in a AsRock Z390 ITX Phantom / 9900K using MacOS 10.15 and more recently 12.6. Since switching this drive into my new AsRock Z690 ITX Phantom / 12900KS I have started to get repeated hard crashes with the dreaded "3rd party NVMe controller. Loss of MMIO space." showing in the crash report. This always occurs when the machine is doing a Read/write heavy workload. Most often it occurs when open large projects in PHPStorm. NVME Fix is installed. Have tried setting long TRIM timeouts, disabling TRIM, but with whatever I try I get random "Loss of MMIO space" errors.
When the Z690 machine is booted into Windows, with the Sabrent drive still attached, the machine is rock solid, which suggests no obvious failing hardware issues. Running from a SATA SSD with MacOS the Z690 build is rock solid.
If I take that "problem" drive out of my Z690 build that's crashed moments ago and put it back in my "solid" Z390 build, it immediately works and is rock solid for days//weeks. So the issue as I see it is more the combination of NVME drive and specific motherboard than a combination of NVME drive and MacOS.
Either that or there is some magical OpenCore patch that I present on my Z390 build that stops it occuring that is not present on the Z690.
I've got a Crucial T500 arriving shortly. Will see how that behaves. If I have problems with that I'll try a WD. But I'm really not convinced that there some magic in the WD drives. I'll guessing that it's more people that are following the advice from the "Hackintosh gods" may also be running from a more narrow set of hardware that's got a more "golden" OpenCore configuration.
Shame that this might push me to buy a Apple Mac. I much prefer to feel like I own my machine, previous Hhacks have been wonderfully reliable; but this is doing my head in...
