Booting OSX on Macbook Pro with third party NVMe drive

[lee34234]

Hi,

I read the report done by gilles_polysoft and
http://macbidouille.com/news/2017/07/14/suite-des-tests-de-ssd-pc-dans-nos-mac, it shows that Macbook Pro Mid 2015 with third party NVMe drive is not bootable by unknown reason.

After a bit of research, I found this thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/boot-osx-on-a-nvme-card.1967790/ which allow Mac Pro boot into a NVMe card. Do anyone know this method would work on this situation or someone who have a macbook pro and nvme drive+adaptor can test with this method. Thanks!

- Mac Pro late 2013: not bootable ( works if booted on external HD in 10.13)

- MacBook Pro 13 "and 15" Late 2013: not bootable ( works if booted on external HD in 10.13)

- MacBook Air early 2014: not bootable ( works if booted on external HD in 10.13)

- MacBook Pro 13 "and 15" Mid 2014: not bootable ( works if booted on external HD in 10.13)

- Macmini Late 2014: works (in 2x lanes PCIe 2.0) and bootable

- MacBook Air early 2015: works (in 2x lanes PCIe 2.0) and bootable

- MacBook Pro 13 "early 2015: black screen - problem of random recognition (bus PCIe 3.0?)

- MacBook Pro 15 "Mid 2015: black screen - problem of random recognition (bus PCIe 3.0?)

I was wondering if it were possible to boot off of a thunder2 box with a pcie card with a hard drive installed. Either, SSD or NVMe. It'd be cool to boot off of an ultrafast external hard drive.
