I shelved this idea a while ago and am just coming back to it. How does a hot swappable drive help me? When I get on the corporate VPN I am immediately prompted to enable File Vault on my boot drive. After I click OK, it tried to reboot and all I can do is a full re-install at that point. I...

I have corporate policy being pushed to me that forces File Vault to be enabled. I believe this is via the Casper suite and the ManagedClient.app. Is there any way to make FileVault work with a Hackintosh? Or am I just stuck living off the corporate network, which really defeats the purpose...

The setting "Use TRIM commands on all SSDs" is set in the preferences of SoftRAID.

So the article above managed to do this. They got close to 6GB/s, which may be the theoretical limit. I am also stuck at this exact 2000.0 MB/s when I set up a RAM Drive, for both read and write. I tried my own tests with the RAM Drive as the source or destination and timed the reads and...

Strange results. I am getting lower speeds than before with the same 3 drives in the array. Oddly the read side was capping at exactly 2000.0. The write side was just over 1700. Strange. I set up a RAM Disk and tested that. Both read and write were at exactly 2000.0. I need to get the...

So I bought that board and I have 4x 950 pro NVMe drives installed on it. I am really hoping to see some great speeds out of these drives. BUT, I can see them in Disk Utility. Any thoughts? Edit: Forgot this step: https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme

I tried Softraid and that just worked. Not sure what is going wrong with AppleRAID but I got some impressive results.

So I finally got my machine built and have been working out the kinks on both the hardware and software side. I am up to the point where I have 3 Samsung 950 pros, 2 on the mother board and one on a PCIe x4 slot. I use the NVMe Kext hack from RehabMan to get that far. They are formatted OS X...

Solved. Motherboard was not recognizing the wireless card. Changed from ax x1 slot to an x4 slot and it just worked. I was wondering why I could not find instructions on how to get this to work. It is because it just works. Once I rebooted I just connected to WiFi.

I bought this WiFi card because it was on the buyers guide. I did not see anything specific for getting this up and running but I do not see any WiFi in Network Preferences. Are there additional post install steps that I need to take to make WiFi work? There seems to be a lot of stuff related...

Thanks. I am holding off on my build for a couple of months for other reasons, so I will check back with a new, and hopefully updated build, then.

This build recently went from an idea to a reality. Any chance someone can give it a once over check?

I have my system picked out, single boot El Capitan. I am hoping to build a high end system with the latest and greatest while avoiding compatibility issues. I tried to stick to the Buyer's Guide but some things are not exact but similar. 1) Any red flags? Incompatibilities? 2) Is my power...

Hi, I am a senior computer programmer and I have built 3 Window rigs in the past and been very happy with them, but I work on Mac these days and need a new high end developer machine. In my quest for ultimate machine performance I want to run 3x Samsung 950 Pro M.2 512GB NVMe in RAID 0 on...
