No problem, thanks. Hopefully it'll be a reliable method from which to boot.

MP 7,1 Mac Pro 2019 NVME RAID drives failing to mount

My three NVMe external drives are used for: Windows 11, Time Machine, and the third one (4TB) is storage for VMs. Currently I'm booting Sequioia from SATA SSD drive.
Sequoia 15.0 (24A335) updated only OS Loader version on Mac Pro 7,1 to 582~1023.
I think that there is no point for me to give more of updates like these, because as far as I'm concerned, problem is solved.

Thank you, I confirm) For me, this is the first and best MP7.1 system. Finally, everything works without problems and you can work calmly without tedious tests with components.
And also, now Macs Fan Control shows the temperature of the XT video card and you can adjust the fans manually according to it.
System on NVME Samsung, HighPoint SSD7101A-1.

That sounds very promising. How is the Sequioa performance on the MP7.1? Does it feel fast and snappy?
Very snappy, the os loads far quicker, maybe as fast as on the m2 MacBook Pro.
I'll definitely be checking out how it works with my funky stuff, like custom virtual resolutions for side displays in SwitchResX, Capture One Pro 21, and Sketchup 2017 (which requires sidecar-ing my iPad Pro in order to make the measurements show correctly, instead of upside down and back to front). Also, I finally have a podcatching setup with Doughnut as Mac podcatcher, and iMazing to move episodes onto my iPhone (Apple gets no subscription metrics from me) so that has to work...
I'll also be interested to see if they've fixed some of my Ventura glitches, like mouse cursor leftovers remaining on one screen when I move it to another screen (I have a single space; 1 menubar only for all my displays). Or whether the glitch that makes Quicklook reload things a few seconds after opening them (so images return to native scale, and audio / video files jump back to their startpoint) has been fixed.

On another note for anybody that has been playing with is.
I don't know where Apple made the fix, whether it was a firmware thing or an OS update. Has anybody loaded Sequoia, (which updated firmware), and then also booted from Sonoma and found it to now be behaving itself?

Its definately primarily due to OS, because I've already tested this with bad reuslts:

Ah, Ok sorry anbout that. I'd somehow forgotten that post.
I have been running the beta for several months on a separate SSD (internal SATA) and as a daily driver for about a month. As many have said no issues with my NVME drives disappearing.
Based on that I upgraded my base install on the internal Apple NVME from Sonoma to Sequoia.
Agh, I'll have to go back and check more closely what was said. My main query is making the boot drive a 3rd party nVME mounted on a drive carrier in the PCI slots, not the Apple one.
Never had another instance of the NVME drives on my Sonnet card dropping out since installing Sequoia on the single W6800X machine.
I don't dare install it on the other 7,1.
