I realize "wear" is totally different for SSDs and HDDs. In my experience with windows, if you don't make read or write requests the drive controller puts the drive to sleep. So while many of my windows systems have power on times of 1000's of hours the drives typically have much less (maybe...

Is there a way to manually change the disk sleep timeout via the terminal? Maybe I can manually change it to a shorter time to see if that forces the drive to sleep? Or could this just be an eccentricity of this particular Toshiba drive/controller in combination with Mac OS?

I suppose I should have specified, other than that. That option is checked but the disk is never going to sleep judging by the powered on hours. Total writes aren't too bad but drive life remaining is down to like 80%. So I'd like the drive to go to sleep as much as possible.

I have separate drives for Windows 10 and High Sierra. While checking Disk Info i noticed my Windows ssd has about 1000 hours on it over 2 years. Not bad. Windows is set to put drives to sleep after 5 minutes, so that sounds about right. But my Mac OS ssd has 12,500 powered on hours over 2...

Mounted my High Sierra drive via Sata to USB. Grabbed AptioMemoryFix-64.efi from one of my Clover EFI backups on the drive. Mounted EFI volume. Dropped it in the appropriate folder. Problem Solved.

Not trying to make it difficult, I just don't know how would I run the Clover installer without a functioning Mac? All I have available to me currently is a Windows 10 PC.

I'm browsing around the Clover files on Sourceforge. Can I download the relevant drivers from there? https://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/code/HEAD/tree/

Only have two ram slots, and everything was fine for 2 years until I updated Clover. Only BIOS setting that was changed was Boot Order, which now displays Clover Legacy.

So in looking at that thread, it seems like i need to add these drivers to my EFI folder on my High Sierra drive. Where do I find these drivers to put them in the EFI folder? I don't have a bootable USB for High Sierra. IIRC I did a direct upgrade to HS from Yosemite. So my bootable USB is...

In preparation for updating to Mojave from fully functional High Sierra (formatted in APFS) I updated my Clover Configurator, and Clover bootloader both to the latest version. I updated both through Clover Configurator. Upon rebooting I get to the Clover boot selector screen, I can see Windows...

Which OS build and what Nvidia drivers are you using with the p600?

Is there any reason not to use the Nvidia 346.03.15f12 driver with my current install of El Cap 10.11.6 (15G19009) or would that Nvidia driver not support newer Pascal cards? I'd like to upgrade to, or fresh install, High Sierra at some point, but if the old driver will work with my current...

So Intel 87/97, Lynx Point, are fine? They don't even exhibit the stuttering? I'm just really curious before I pull the trigger on getting a GT1030/P600 for my Q87 and H97 hacks. Otherwise I'll go with an RX550 if it easier, they're just not in stock anywhere.

Found it. Cool, thanks! Now I'm even more tempted to rebuild a hackintosh from scratch, now that I know there's a repository of drivers on here.

Is there a legitimate link to the .104 or .107 driver? I googled it and the first link is the Nvidia Driver page, however the only available language is Russian for some reason, even though i'm on the US page...

The older version of the Nvidia driver is fully compatible with 10.13.3? If it's that simple why aren't people just doing that? Getting my hack mini going to the first time took a while, the thought of doing it all over again with more complications sounds daunting.

I'm looking to rebuild my current Haswell based El Capitan mini. I've never been totally happy with it, USB 3.0 ports don't work. I'd like to move up to a larger SSD. I'd prefer to have a dedicated GPU rather than the Intel HD 4600. Of course I'd like to move to High Sierra as well. However...

So there's alot there. It not exactly the best guide as there's no clear steps to follow like 1, 2, 3, and so on. At first glance my config.plist doesn't contain /ACPI/DSDT/Patches. Do I have to create the Patches directory? It seems this is the guide I should actually begin with...

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Q87TN CPU: i7-4770T OS: 10.11.6 El Cap Device ID: iMac 13,1 Clover: v2.3k The motherboard has 4 USB 3.0 ports, and no USB 2.0 ports. I've tried using a hub, as well as directly attaching flash drives to each port individually and they periodically work under certain...
