Has anyone thoroughly tested the compatibility of Samsung Polaris controller PCIe NVMe SSD's with High Sierra?
These would be the 960 Evo, 960 Evo Pro and PM961 SSD's primarily.
The Samsung Polaris controller only supports 512-bytes, and could exhibit problems with APFS, slow boot, trackpad preferences etc.
So far I have tested the following SSD's successfully:
