Hi Hackintoshers,
I have recently put a SAMSUNG 970 Evo 500GB PCI3.0-NVMe SSD that I bought in 2018 into my Hackintosh and I use it as the main OS drive.
I am very confused on whether using this disk is safe or not.
I read several threads on possible issues related to a bad TRIM support in Mac OS for the SAMSUNG NVMe drives, however many of these threads are old, or refer to the newer EVO Plus models.
My configuration is the following:
In the system profiler, TRIM is ON ("Sì=Yes" in the attached picture)
The disk seems to work perfectly. It is as fast as expected on DiskSpeedTest and I have not experienced any sort of glitches over the couple of weeks I have been using it.
Can someone please advice if I am fine with the 970 Evo (2018) or if it'd be better that I buy a different NVMe drive?
Thank you very much!
Alessandro
