    OS X Driver for NVMe M.2 Solid State Drives Released

    I am getting about 1035 read and 843 write on the Intel 750 PCIE3 X4 SSD. The write seems on spec with a max of 900MBps. The 1035 read speed seems half as good as it should be. But I'm not really complaining, as this Intel SSD is still plenty faster than my former Mushkin SSD's in a RAID0 array...

    OS X Driver for NVMe M.2 Solid State Drives Released

    Sword: That worked. I was able to install successfully with the driver. I tried using El Cap Multibeast 8.01 after install, rebooted, but cannot get to the desktop. I always end up at "Prohibited" sign with a "Still waiting for root device" error in verbose mode. I cannot see a way to make the...

    OS X Driver for NVMe M.2 Solid State Drives Released

    Can you expand on this statement please: "Placed the NVMe driver in UniBeast USB/EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.11 this enabled the OS X installer to see the drive and allow me to install." I just bought an Intel 750 Series AIC 400GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 MLC Internal SSD today. I updated the BIOS on my...

    Do I need Nvidia Drivers?

    Running an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 with 2MB of RAM. Never had a problem with the native detection and use of the card. What benefit(s) do I obtain from installing the Nvidia drivers? Speed? Thanks in advance. JEff

    Mavericks - only ONE pstate available??

    Silly question, but how do I check the SMBIOS in use? Here's what is in the SMBIOS.plist file: <dict> <key>SMfamily</key> <string>Macmini</string> <key>SMproductname</key> <string>Macmini5,1</string> <key>SMboardproduct</key> <string>Mac-8ED6AF5B48C039E1</string> <key>SMserial</key>...

    Mavericks - only ONE pstate available??

    My CPU fan never ramps down in speed, despite having enabled EIST and C3/C6 in BIOS. I have a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard running an overclocked Sandy Bridge i7 CPU. Here is what I see: $ sysctl hw | grep cpufr hw.cpufrequency: 3492000000 hw.cpufrequency_min: 3492000000...

    Guide for RAID-0 on OS X 10.8.5 using tonymacx86 tool set

    Neil, I must be missing something here. I followed your directions, but when I reboot I only get to a non-Chameleon boot screen where I have a choice to boot either my first or second RAID array disk: hd(0,3) OSX hd(1,3) OSX 2 (Note that it named my second raid member OSX2). Is there a step...

    Guide for RAID-0 on OS X 10.8.5 using tonymacx86 tool set

    Neil, When Apple releases an incremental update, say 10.9.1, will I have to repeat the process to create the RAID-0 disks after applying the upgrade? Or will it apply uniformly to both the disks in the array? I'm trying to understand the level of effort, both now and in the future, to...

    GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 enters sleep, then wakes up seconds later

    Yes, I fixed it. The problem was a Roswill all-in-one card reader that was plugged into the motherboard. That was what was causing the wakeups. After disconnecting it, sleep occurs with no problems. LESSON LEARNED: unplug everything until you get to the root cause.
