I’m looking at adding an SSD to my Hackintosh system. Has anyone gotten the Kingston Digital HyperX Predator m.2 PCIe SSD to work with a Z87 motherboard as a bootable device in a PCIe slot? What about just as a fast storage device, for use alone or with a spinning disk for a Fusion Drive?
I’m specifically looking at the model with the HHHL (Half-Height Half-length) adapter, which adapts it for a standard PCIe 2 x4 slot. It has OROM for booting Windows but I don’t know what that means; it doesn’t seem like it would be “optical read only memory."
I have found some references to this SSD, but for the combination of a Hackintosh, OS X, a Z87 motherboard, and the HHHL version. I would definitely like to know whether it is bootable in that situation.
I have a Gigabyte Z87X-OC Force with BIOS version F9, if that makes a difference. I currently run Chimera but have also tried Clover in the past. Figured I would at least consider PCIe options before settling on a SATA SSD.
