OS X Driver for NVMe M.2 Solid State Drives Released

[Nystro0m]

Hi

I trying to get my Intel 600p to work properly by using RehabMan's HackrNVMeFamily kext without any success.
Im currently running the GenericNvme kext. Which seems to work, with the all known shutdown bugs etc.

However, after i've created my HackrNVMeFamily.kext and installed it, i cant boot. I get stuck when it trying to run my os. I get the prohibited sign (Cant detect the drive i guess...)
Ive tried all three versions of 10.11.6, both in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11 and ~kexts/other (i did remove all the other maps).

I currently running the latest version of El Capitan. 2016-002 10.11.6

Ive tried the way from Stork when creating the Kext:
Cd ~Placeofmap/patch-nvme-master/
./patch_nvme.sh 10_11_6
and then drag the NVMe_patches_10_11_6 to the terminal.

Also just running
./patch_nvme.sh 10_11_6

and the git way from the read me.
Right now im out of idea´s what to go ahead and do next.

Any ideas or more information i can provide?

Update to Last Post on finding an NVMe Driver to get My Intel NVMe PCIe Drive to Work on El-Cap, I have installed Sierra Using UniBeast (Thank TonyMac) and MultiBeast ( Thanks a Lot again Tony) everything works out of the box. I can See My NVMe Drive on installation and can boot to It post InstallView attachment 217538

Did you ever get your NVMe to work in El-Capitan. Or did the change to Sierra made it work OOB?

...And you didn't delete IONVFamily.kext from SLE, right?

I dont have any IONVFamily.Kext installed. I could't see anywhere that this was needed.

I know understand the sarcasm, don't know if its applied to me.
I have not deleted my IONVMeFamily.

There you go.
I don't like the HackrNVMeFamily.kext solution. It will hose EVERY point update, you can just use a kexttopatch solution for El Cap or one for Sierra and it persists through point updates.

Can you point me i a direction where i can read up and do a kexttopatch that i can use?

El Capitan: https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/nvmefamily-kext-bin-patch-data-for-el-capitan/

Sierra: https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2016/06/27/nvmefamily-kext-bin-patch-data/

Note that both of these solutions require IONVFamily.kext to be present and loaded in order to work.

Hi all, anyone with Intel 750 Series on 10.12.1 here? I installed new Intel 750 800GB and getting really slow read - about 800MB/s. Does anyone have such problem? I'm using the kext to patch method based on Pike R. Alpha work. Thanks.

about 800MB/s

Sounds like a hardware limitation. Maybe check first if the M.2 slot is running on PCIe 2.0 x2 (than you get around 800mb/s). Because of your CPU only having 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes they have to be shared between the M.2 slot (x4) und your graphics card (than on x8 instead of x16). I dont know if your Mainboard can do this or if you have to do some settings in bios.

Its not on mobo that i have in signature. Its on Gigabyte GA-X99 ULTRA GAMING/i7 6900k and i have installed it in PCIe 8x slot.
It seems that the macOS NVMe driver does not work with this SSD too well
