Hello, I am wondering about the following. 1. Is it possible to "downgrade" the screen on the iMac Pro? I have one with a cracked bezel, but the screen itself is fine. I wouldn't mind downgrading the panel to a lower resolution, if possible. Should this be feasible? 2. Is there any...

Hello Apple friends. In 2024 w/ many players not just the usual (Crucial, Micron, TeamGroup etc.) in the SATA SSD space, what's the cheapest 2TB SATA drive that's durable & reliable (speed is not a priority) w/ good warranty has anyone discovered? It doesn't need to be a popular brand name. I...

Hi, never posted here before, but have followed along with some upgrades on different macs based on the incredibly helpful guides in this forum! I've recently aquired a base level 27", 2017 imac (3.4ghz 1TBfusion 8gb ram). I've upgraded the ram, but I would like to have faster read/write for...

Hei! I purchased a used cMP5.1 (2010) with Vega64, OpenCore and BigSur on it. Both OC and BS are installed on an NVMe drive (currently the sole storage on it). It is booting and running fine. I installed the latest Hackintool and found that it autodetects Clover but shows version 0 and when I...

Hello everyone, I was recently gifted a MP5.1 mid 2010 and am a brand new MAC user. Running Mojave with a Radeon Sapphire RX580, 16 GB Ram. My Mac does not recognize any of the 4 Sata backplane ports on the logic board. The person who gifted it to me confirmed they were working. Mac OSX is...

Hello everyone, new to the forum and my first post. I was recently gifted a MP5.1 mid 2010 and am a brand new MAC user. Running Mojave with a Radeon Sapphire RX50, 16 GB Ram. I have owned iPhones and iPads for years but never switched from PC to Mac, a slight learning curve to say the least...

Which ASMedia Serial ATA 6 Gb/s controller does the Apple 🍎 Mac Pro 2023 utilize to drive the 2 onboard internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports (ASM1061, ASM1061R, ASM1062, ASM1062R, ASM1064, ASM1164, or ASM1166) and do they support Port Multipliers (and if so: Command-based switching or FIS (Frame...

I've been following along with a few of these types of threads concerning booting / compatible PowerPC SATA (SIL-)controller cards. I came across this TSATA6-SSDPR-E2 from Sonnet and decided to test it in my Dual G5. Without further ado – there is a way to make it work as a super-fast RAID0...

Hello I have a Mac Pro 5.1 if I remove my os ssd from bay 1 and put it in OWC Accelsior S will it boot normally? Which is the max ssd size I can install there ? Thanks

The four internal SATA ports on my mac pro stopped working all of the sudden. I have to use the 2 ports for the DVD drivers for my hard drives now. I tried. to clear PRAM, SMC, taking the CMOS battery out ... without any success. I recently moved my mac pro on a Uhaul truck that may help with...

Hello, I just tried an experiment on my old iMac 27' mid 2011. I had already changed the optical disk for an SSD in the past to keep the original HDD. I decided to try to add USB 3.0 Ports. For that I connected a slim 13 pin SATA from the last port behind the logic board. It is a 13 pin to 22...

My very trusty late 2015 27” iMac, with a 3 TB Fusion drive, didn’t boot all of a sudden on Thursday morning. No warnings, it was fine as usual up until the night before on Wednesday, then the next morning, it boots to the “prohibited” circle. I’m not really upset for the drive failing, after...

I am migrating from an old Mac Pro to a Mac Studio and need an external enclosure for my old SATA drives that used to live inside the Mac Pro. I was just about to order a Sabrent USB 3.1 gen 2 4-bay enclosure (due to recommendations in another thread) when I read some random comments around the...

I'm trying to repair a mid 2012 13 inch i5 macbook pro for a family member. He was mainly complaining about two things: It was running extremely slowly and after a while stopped working altogether, instead just booting him back to a weird looking login screen every time he logged in. This mac...

Hello Apple & Mac friends. Could you recommend a very cost-effective but durable 1TB external SSD drive for USB 3.0 (Late 2015 5K iMac). It doesn't have to be fast, just durable and just 1TB. It can also be those M.2 SSD in a SATA adapter or it can be just a durable 1TB SSD drive that can be...

I have a 3.5 inch hard drive that has been sitting on ice on a shelf in a closet that came out of a G5 imac. It’s a 3.5inch HD with a 22 pin SATA connection on it (15 for power, 7 for data). I need a SATA 22pin to Firewire cable. Why Firewire? Because I have a old 2008 white MacBook that I need...

4,1->5,1. Can I boot W10 on a PCIe 2.5" SSD if I'm just cloning my current W10 over, not a clean install (as I understand, you can't clean install over PCIe)? When I was initially installing W10 on this Mac Pro, I remember it was impossible to do thru Bootcamp, although Bootcamp drivers were...
