Hi All, I've going nuts for the las week tryiing to solve this one. Hopefully somebody can shed some light on my problem. I have a GA-H55M-D2H with hackintosh since I first build it (four years ago) with three drives, a 240GB SSD, a 750 HD and a 2TB HD. It was working flawlessly on Sierra but...

My Hard Drive doesn't show up in the installer tab, disk utility, or terminal. The only thing that shows up is the USB. System information doesn't see any Serial ATA devices either. I tried different Hard Drives and different SATA Ports, the HDD also shows up in bios and my PC detects it. My...

Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this. Almost every time I reboot, I notice a "Recovered Files" in my trash. Also, when I reboot, sometimes my Hackintosh needs to repair the OSX partition in recovery mode before I can even boot again. I've had to restore from a working Image...

I'm *completely* new to Hackintosh, so this is probably a silly question. Is it possible to make a relatively cheap interface that will serve ONLY as an interface between either Firewore 800 or Thunderbolt and a stack of SATA drives? I guess this would basically be a JBOD-type RAID without the...

I purhcased and modded a nice used Dell t3600 Xeon system with a C600 chipset to use as a backup system and fileserver, thinking that because it had six onboard SATA ports it would be perfect. However, what I found out is that only two of the SATA ports work, the other four are controlled by...

Hello friends. I'm having trouble with the StarTech external enclosure. I keep getting errors while formatting. I have posted a screenshot of this and the error detail in text below. At first the enclosure lights up as if the disk is being used, but after a minute the light goes off and the...

It's my first try at "building up" an hackintosh. I went thru the install OK with some troubles (nvidia drivers, ethernet drivers, sound drivers, clover that add BIOS boot entries ... etc) I haven't yet reached a satisfactory solution for the ethernet and the wake-up from sleep .. :-). My...

Hey, everyone. I'm new to the hackintoshing community, and to building computers, but eager to learn and excited! Okay so, I purchased both a Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB 7200 RPM 3.5" PC Desktop SATA Hard Drive HD103UJ as well as a Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB MZ-75E250B/AM MZ-75E250B SSD 3D Solid...

I had some trouble installing Windows 7 through Boot Camp but finally managed to fix it. All I had to was unplug any other drive to format and install the OS correctly. The case was left open during the process since I figured I needed to plug the Mac drive back in soon either way. I made the...

I’m thinking about building a Hackintosh and I want a Solid State Drive with an interface that’s faster than SATA but less expensive than NVME, especially since Samsung seems to be the only company making NVMe Solid State Drives and they charge a lot. Are there any Solid State Drives that...

Hi guys! So I bought a Toshiba Q300 480gb to install El capitan on. I can boot when plugging it into My USB 2.0 port fine, but when I plug it into USB 3.0 or Sata, I get the "Prohibitory symbol" (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204156) after the loading bar is at about 60%. I installed the 3rd...

I have a crazy question for my build. I have a mac pro 5,1. I would like for the internal drives to operate at SATA 3 speeds. what do you all think of the idea of de soldering the controller chip and replacing it with one that is sata 3? I also have a sweet raid controller that supports 8...

Hey There, I have a 3TB WDC WD30EZRX-00DC0B0 drive connected to the the internal SATA 6Gb/s connector which I believe is hosted by the Marvell 88SE9172 chip on the motherboard. I'm running El Capitan with 10.11.3 and the drive is failing to format with Disk Utility. Media-iMac:~ homer$...

Edit: SOLVED I just realized that my motherboard GA-Z77X-UD4 TH only has 2 sata ports 6Gb / s other 4 sata ports are 3GB/s Hello friends, For some reason my WD Caviar Black 2TB hard disks show at wrong negotiation speed (3Gb/s) on System Information Instead my Samsung 840 Pro SSDs...
