Out of curiosity, if you wen with a "real" Mac, which model/specs would you get?

Still learning the ropes in my research before my Hackintosh build attempt but this is very useful information -- Thanks!

Very helpful information. Thnx for sharing. Just found out about the EVO Plus limitations although am still not sure what the anomaly could be that results in the performance hit. :problem:

@sharkoon Thnx for the update. Might just attempt my build after & hope I have no issues enabling FV2

Very promising information... Is the external hard-drive a traditional spinning drive? "Since you talk about it taxing your patience"...

So I take it your clone has hackintosh driver kext files as other components as well? And with those custom files, FV2 works with no issues correct?

Thnx for the response... The first part of your statement confused me slightly. For clarification, you are saying your hackintosh has FV2 enabled running Mojave but "just in case" you also happen to have a clone image of your setup on an external device correct? It sounded like it was the...

Really interested to know if FileVault 2 works on macOS Mojave with no issues...

Thnx for taking the time to break that down! Definitely going to find it helpful during my setup :)

Ahaa! Now that's an important distinction. :geek: I have read others doing that as well. You formatted your NVMe to HFS+ prior to cloning the drive over? There by bypassing High Sierra converting the SSD to APFS correct? Also, pls can you point me to a guide on how one backups/copies their EFI...

When you say you "used my 2.5" SSD drive," does that mean you booted into your Hackintosh using your internal 2.5" drive that already had macOS and cloned the drive to the NVMe SSD using an app such as CCC? Just wanted an update on how the Evo 970 is holding up. Am looking into putting...

I know this thread was originally created on Sep 26, 2017...As of today, (almost a year later), is it still advised to avoid APFS on new Hackintosh builds with High Sierra and an NVMe SSD. Secondly, are there still issues with Hackintosh setups using the Evo 970 series SSDs? If it's off topic...

Will do!

I really appreciate you breaking this down! :clap: Currently looking to build my first ever Hackintosh and having been researching for some days now (components + Hackintosh guides & "cautions") and currently have 90% of my parts put together. Corsair's Vengence RGB also happen to be on my list...
