ssd

Hi, this is my first time building a Hackintosh (or any computer). I've been reading this site for quite a while and am very excited. The installation guide has been pretty smooth so far. My only hiccup was figuring out that, for now, my USB drive, keyboard, and mouse all need to be plugged...

I was thinking about getting a 1TB SSD for my laptop. The question is what's better for Mojave, SATA or Nvme? What are the pros and cons?

How do I make a drive bootable into Clover on a BIOS (non-UEFI) system? I have a very old P7P55D-E PRO system that works with High Sierra on a hard drive (formatted as a GUID Partition Map) with the latest Clover (installed in Legacy Mode, because this is not a UEFI system). I added an SSD...

Hi I am a newbie here :D, recently I build a hackintosh without any major issue, except the type C USB, the rest works perfectly thanks to the tutorial from the discussion thread. Here is my HW MB = ASUS Prime H270 Plus(Only type C fails to work, the rest including audio, usb3.0 works fine) CPU...

Hi guys, after many attempts I've got my hackintosh working perfectly on 13.5. Now I was wondering, is there any way that I can completely clone the SSD that I have the SO running on with every partition (EFI) to an external hard drive? So if I mess anything up on the ssd I can always boot from...

Hi mates, would very appreciate your help to solve this: Got an i5 4250u Intel NUC Model D54250WYK with an intel 128GB mSATA SSD and 8 GB RAM. I don‘t really need wifi as I‘ll simply use ethernet. This is my first try on a Hackintosh so I don‘t really know what to do. What I did: I got my...

I just noticed that in the CustoMac Pro section of the Buyer's Guide there were two sections for SSD drives. https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/building-a-customac-hackintosh-the-ultimate-buyers-guide/#CustoMac_Pro Is there a reason for this? Do we need two separate drives for a Hackintosh...

Thanks to all the information and guides on this forum I have a nearly fully functioning hack by now except two last problems. A few days ago I noticed that my Samsung PM961 (OEM version of the 960 Evo) is way slower after a sleep/wake cycle. So far I did not find anybody else that had a...

I'm setting my first build and I was wondering if I can make a bootable backup from a High Sierra APFS SSD to an HFS HDD? Or will that mess up my backup?

Im currently doing a clean install of High Sierra and Clover. Still no success. I’m trying to wipe the harddrive to start again. The problem is that the harddrive no longer shows up in disk utility. I have attached a photo. How do I get them to show back up?

Hello there :) I'm new to this Hackintosh world and I've been reading the stickies and other useful threads to make it work properly. I already have the USB with High Sierra (did it with UniBeast) and all was just fine. I have a single SSD disk which already has Windows 10 and noticed that...

After a 'successful' installation of El Capitan on my laptop using Enoch Bootloader, it automatically restarts (of course). However when it does restart back into the bootloader, the SSD I installed Mac OS on isnt showing up, only the USB shows. So I can't boot from the SSD to finalize the...

I have a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD that appears as an external drive (orange disk icon) in High Sierra (10.13.6). The SSD is in an M.2 to PCIe x4 adapter on Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC Force motherboard. The board does not natively support NVMe boot but I modded the BIOS. I have attempted to...

I'm trying to avoid APFS conversion. For this reason I ejected SATA drive and connected it through USB2SATA converter. When I try to install Mojave, this drive can not be selected with error "You may not install to this volume because the computer is missing a firmware partition."

I've learned to leave well enough alone when it comes to "mackintoshes." I had Lion, which was probably the best mix of mackintosh and Mac OS X ever (for me), until I upgraded to Yosemite a couple years after it came out. I've been on Yosemite since. Recently, I tried to install Sierra (NOT High...

Hi folks, I plan on building my second Mac/Win10 dual boot Hackintosh from scratch and am looking for advice. My intention is to use two separate Samsung 970 evo 500GB m.2 drives, one for the Mac and one for the Windows partition. As for the motherboard, I am looking at the Gigabyte Z370 AORUS...

So, my Toshiba Satellite C650-06E will not boot from my SSD when i have clover installed on it. It will just completely skip booting from my SSD and go to NetBoot. So i have to insert my USB drive, which REALLY annoys me. also my ssd is formatted as gpt with apfs

Hello, I've read the Dell XPS 15 9560 guide for High Sierra and understand that I would need to change the WiFi card to get things working. But before diving in, I wanted to know if it is possible to run High Sierra off an external SSD connected over Thunderbolt 3? This would be ideal...

So, my laptop (A Toshiba Satellite L500-00F) gets stuck at the prohibitory sign when trying to boot from my high sierra USB. Three different problems have occurred: 1. When my 8GB RAM stick is on the bottom RAM slot, It will get stuck at End RandomSeed and a wall of + and then reboot 2. When my...
