Thanks again Edhawk. Yep the lazy choice of spinning drives in RAID 0 configuration was purely an affordability and speed consideration for high end video editing jobs rather than a security consideration but this lesson has reminded me about the need for regular backups which I've now done. I'm...

So it seems that the raid in question actually is fine once plugged into a sata to usb hub and is still readable as a raid 0 so I’ve managed to access my lost files which I’m very pleased about. So the issue seems to be in the boot loading EFI partition of my system disk which will not show any...

Yep thanks for appreciating my dilemma. Currently if the defective raid is connected at boot up process, clover won’t show the connected volumes and boot the system drive so I can’t access an app like Disk Utility to try to repair the raid or access the data. I have some of the files backup and...

Edhawk, followed your advice and disconnected both RAID drive combos and was able to boot my hack in clover without problem from the system drive. I was then able to isolate that the problem is with only one of the RAIDs as the hack booted fine with one connected but not the other, when also...

Edhawk your assistance is very much appreciated, as was the last time you gave your great advice on updating GPUs for OS Sonora (Which I've now bought a new GPU but yet to find the time to . I'll follow your suggestion and reach out with more details.

Would really appreciate some assistance as this is way over my head. My hackintosh froze yesterday while video editing on a job. I had to reboot but upon rebooting, the bios froze at bios screen and eventually I had to reset the bios at back switch and reset all my bios settings. After this my...

Well that’s a great money and time saving piece of advice there cheers Edhawk :thumbup:

That’s great news. Regarding the older ASUS x99 motherboards, this looks promising and I’ve managed to find a few of these higher spec ROG Rx 6000 range GPUs on Amazon https://rog.asus.com/articles/gaming-graphics-cards/asus-and-rog-bring-amds-rejuvinated-radeon-rx-6000-cards-to-your-next-pc/

Yes indeed. Bad noob speak :crazy:

Many thanks Edhawk and the others for your tips. As a professional video editor then, assuming I go for an RX 6000 range GPU for my work rig, Should I then assume Monterey would support them And update to that or go for a clean install of Ventura with better support for these GPUs?

Would appreciate some advice as I’m out of my depth with Radeon GPUs. I’m desperately needing to upgrade my video editing workstation from High Sierra, where I’ve been trapped still holding onto my Nvidia GPU that’s still great but I can’t upgrade OS X with it so still also on old versions of...

That's probably because most people installed Os high Sierra on APFS File structures not on the old HFS+ structures. On this thread most comments mention 'upgrading OS Security Updates' and thereby being able to try different drivers. i simply couldn't get a single Driver to install. I've been...

I tried every driver I could, including those two and basically no driver was being accepted and because of the HFS+ file system, there does not currently seem to be a way to update HIgh Sierra to accept Security updates taht would bump the (17G66) installation to something more compatible with...

Jwk sorry I don't have any experience with the Gigabyte motherboard world but for sure your 1080TI graphics card would work. Is that card installed in your 1st PCIE motherboard slot? It should be ensure a stable Graphics intergration on a Hackintosh. If not, I'd recommend you back up your system...

Hi Jwk, I went with Web.driver version 387.10.10.10.40.127 17G6030 as it is closest in release to the original (17G66) installation of 10.13.6 which i'm stuck on since my file system is HFS+. This is my terminal screen using the command 'webdriver --list' after both 'brew.sh'...
