    Samsung 970 EVO or PRO NVMe for cMP?

    Some questions about the latest Samsung 970 SSD blades: 1. Is there much to gain, aside from some write endurance, on our Mac Pro towers by choosing a Samsung 970 PRO over the EVO, assuming the 500/512GB or 1TB capacity fills our needs? I realize there's some add'l performance in the PRO, but...

    Heya! I saw gilles_polysoft made a miracle and gave our dusty machines to native NVMe abilities. I look at his twitter and he can edit Apple Efi with UEFITool. I am familiar with this kind of editing. I just ask myself to why didn't Apple release efi/bootrom files to public for corruption or...

    Is running an SSD from Thunderbolt as boot drive identical to having an internal drive?

    On a 2017 5k iMac. Could you use NVMe to get the same speeds? And if not how big of a difference would it be? I am not willing to pay Apple's exorbitant prices on SSD but may want to upgrade to this in the future if it is in fact an upgrade over using a Fusion drive.
