Do you have working USB 3.0?
Because, for me, only 2.0 is working and if I plug any 3.0 drive, it doesn't show anywhere.

Above is link for custom ssdt for usb.
I think we should try this.

Thanks, yesterday i installed OSX 10.14 successfully.

For usb 3 try this Kext too
Update: For unsupported USB3 controllers (eg. not Intel, not Fresco Logic), you can try the latest GenericUSBXHCI.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Generic-USB3

i found that on this post: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-10-11-usb-changes-and-solutions.173616/

To install kext correctly on you OS please follow this stpest:
Q. How to install kexts?

There are various kext installers: Kext Beast, Kext Wizard, Kext Utility. I don't recommend any of them.

Note that once you install a kext with incorrect permissions or wrong location, you must remove it first:
Code:
sudo rm -Rf /Library/Extensions/KextToInstall.kext
sudo rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/KextToInstall.kext
It is easy to install kexts with Terminal:
Code:
sudo cp -R KextToInstall.kext /Library/Extensions
Or with older OS X (10.10.x and prior):
Code:
sudo cp -R KextToInstall.kext /System/Library/Extensions
And to rebuild cache:
Code:
sudo kextcache -i /
Or with older OS X:
Code:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

I added a extra storage to the lap to be able to have WINDOWS and Macso (each one of them on different unity Storage), Windows on SSD Nvme and Macos on SSD sata III, 2.5"). in other words, installed on this SSD (its a normal one, sata III, 2.5"). No SSDT patched required
