HI alll,
I finaly managed to install hackitosh today after two days of trying.
Here is where my problem is:
I have the six core i7 and Gigabyte Z370 motherboard.
I also have two GTX 980 Nvidia cards. I built this system so that I can work faster with C4d and Octane.
I manged to install successfully macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 on my drive. Unfortunately, Hackitosh would not recognize any of my SSD due to the change in formatting by Apple from Journaled to APFS. This is a massive pain for me as my system is now very slow as it runs from a Barracuda 7200 drive. I also purchased a Samsung PCI Express card 250 GB that does not work due to the same problems with formatting.
I would like to know can any of these two card be used without problems on a hackitosh:
Transcend TS256GMTS800S M.2 800S Series with High Quality "MLC NAND Flash 256GB M.2 SSD M.2 SATA III"
or
Samsung (MZ-V6E250BW) 250GB EVO PCI Express 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive
Further to this, can someone please help me find a solution to install my hackitosh system to one of the SSD drives I have. Even if this means cloning the system with Carbon Copy Cloner, which I read it is possible.
Is there a easy solution to trick macOS High Sierra Installer to think it is a journaled formatted drive.
Please note I am not very skilled but can do it with some guidance or even a video tutorial about how to reformat the drive to Journaled from APFS.
I have a nice system that works very slowely, what a shame. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.
Many thanks
