I have upgraded my system to High Sierra few weeks ago. It was a pain and I ended up installing it from scratch and pulling all my files from a time capsule backup. The reason was my Fusion drive and the missing APFS support for Fusion drives. Has anybody a similar setup and had success with...

Hi, I have a Z97 build (Asus Gryphon Z97 Armor), with Thunderbolt , Nvidia GTX 750 and a Fusion Drive. It's been running Sierra happily so far (except : I can't be bothered to find the right layout for built-in audio + make all USB ports work + it sometimes freezes/reboots when waking from...

Running a Fusion Drive hack with an 256 GB Intel 600p NVMe SSD and a 3 TB Toshiba DT01ACA300 HDD. Initially was running a Core i7-6700 as iMac17,1 and have since upgraded to Core i7-7700k as iMac18,3. Worked fine in Sierra with the HackrNVMeFamily configuration. Since rebuilding with HS, the...

This is a strange set of circumstances, so first, some background: I have a working installation of Yosemite on a Fusion Drive (a 120 GB SSD and 1TB HDD), and a Windows installation (separate 1TB HDD). My bootloader is Chameleon v2.2, I think I had a problem with OS X (unrelated to hackintosh...

I have a fusion drive which I create between a 275gb SSD and 1TB HD and had an installation of Mac OS X Sierra running on it. I decided to try and go for a clean install of High Sierra. I've been running into trouble after the initial install onto the fusion drive from by bootable USB a reboot...

In my hackintosh, I created my own fusion drive with an SSD (something like this https://www.macworld.com/article/2014011/storage-drives/how-to-make-your-own-fusion-drive.html). I heard APFS is optimized for SSD's and isn't recommended for users with a HDD. Since I have both, is it a good idea...

I created an Install disk for HS using the terminal command, it worked and boots fine. Within the installer I created a CoreStorage volume using an 240GB SSD and a 1T HDD formatted as jhfs+. I run the installer on this Fusion drive and it surprisingly took only 5 minutes. After rebooting and...

Good Morning Hackintoshers, I came across this article yesterday on Mac Rumors, I'm planning to create a Fusion drive for my Hackintosh, HP 6300 CMT / i5 3470 / 8 GB. But after reading this article I might wait until there's a fix. I wanted to ask has anyone had problems with fusion drives and...

Hey everyone, It seems like I can't boot off of my USB drive anymore. Somehow I was able to install MacOS after it booted successfully, and it working fine. However, I want to set up a Fusion Drive to make use of my HDD. For that, I need to be able to boot back onto the USB drive. When...

Hi, I want to have the benefits of increased storage capacity and faster response times by combining an SSD and an HDD, much like an Apple Fusion Drive. Is it advisable to do this on a Hackintosh? Here is an article which I read on how to make a DIY Fusion Drive. Is this a good option, or are...

Hi All, I'm trying to build a Fusion Drive during installation with Unibeast 7.0.1 on this recommended motherboard, using a NVMe Intel 600p SSD and a 3TB Toshiba HD. I'm struggling to get the right software loaded and configured so that the NVMe drive appears during the install phase... I know...

Hi All, (Please move to another forum if this isn't the right place. I've also cross-posted to BIOS/UEFI; apologies if cross-posting is forbidden. ;) ) I've got three drives in my hack: 1. Intel NVMe on PCI 2. Crucial MX300 on SATA4 3. Toshiba 3TB on SATA5 I did the base install of Sierra on...

Hi guys, I'd like to create a fusion drive on my fully working El Capitan build using a 60gb ssd + a 500gb hard drive... The guides I found are from 2012 and they only involve Chimera as bootloader... Will it work on Clover? Plus I found a method to create a fusion drive without erasing my...

I have asked this already a few months ago, but the request has been closed without an explanation Currently Multibeast installs files to /EFI. With Fusion Drive setups, this will have no effect as EFI files are actually on a separate EFI partition. Each time I make a change in Multibeast, I...

Currently Multibeast installs files to /EFI With Fusion Drive setups, this will have no effect as EFI files are actually on a separate EFI partition. Each time I make a change in Multibeast, I have to manually mount the EFI partitions on each device and copy /EFI to that. I also always forget...
