Hi,
Yesterday I did install my new Lycom DT-120 with its SM951 512GB (NVMe) M.2 PCIe.
I've to admit, it's fast! Moving from a SSD SATA II to a PCIe SSD it is a different world!
With the raise of the SSD it change my way of working but in the meantime the size of the files just boom!
After...
This may have been discussed to death already, so my apologies if I'm covering old ground.

Hi!
I read about the NVMe cards that aren't bootable because the EFI rom (off course) doesn't list them at the boot manager. The first thing i learned when fiddling around with a hackintosh (back in '05 with deadmoo image) was the "rd=" option. So since i already successfully booted OSX from an...
NOTE: This thread obsolete.
Install BootROM 144.0.0.0.0 to have native NVMe support with MP5,1.
Info is obsolete and harmful nowadays, kext developed in 2015 for NVMe access causes KPs on anything newer than Sierra.

Hey guys !
I'm currently working on modifying the Mac...
