Vit requested me to open a bug tracker entry for the following issue so it can be tracked down if someone finds the time to do so. In macOS 10.14.5+ and Catalina it was possible to increase Geekben...

Good job! Do we have you to thank for the update?

Currently trying to install the Mac OS on a Samsung 970 EVO, which the guide says not to do (with dates after 2020.10). The link at the beginning of the guide is broken- is this info still current?

Yes the information is still current. If you recently purchased the 970 EVO, try it anyway just to be sure and let us know whether or not it works. Right now the warning against using new 970 EVOs comes from a "sample size of one" so I would like to see if the problem is in fact a general one.

The initial 970 EVOs worked, then the 970 EVO Plus came out with a bad controller firmware. Then they did a firmware update ,and they work too. But Samsung doesn’t use the Phison controllers which Apple prefers. So even the good ones tend to boot slow and occasionally freeze due to a lack of proper trim support.
