![]() I select the NVMe node and used "Extract body" Open The MP5,1.fd file with UEFITool (Version NE alpha 55 Feb 10 2019) I find a NVMe Driver: Update: So here's what I tried so far using UEFITool and DXEInjector: Thank's in advance and thank you all for this great forum and the great information and tools! Is it ok to do it on the ROM that had already been patch with dsodudes' APFS ROM Patcher? Can I use the DXEInject approach to inject the driver I extracted via UEFITool using search and "extract body"? The NVMe driver from the latest MP5,1 firmware should work in a MP3,1 ? My conclusion is to extract it from the MP51 firmware (Applications ▸ Install macOS Mojave ▸ Contents ▸ Resources ▸ Firmware / MP51.fd) (Mojave 10.14.5). I think I'll manage to do that by extracting it using UEFITool from Firmware files that are included in the macOS Installers. ![]() I understand that I must find or extract the driver myself. I've read almost all pages of many threads and I think I understand what the missing steps are, as the google doc does not include the driver anymore. I already applied dosdude's APFS ROM Patcher without any problems, but I'm quite scared to patch the NVMe on top of it. But to be able to boot from NVMe I'll have to patch my ROM. I'm thinking of buying a PCIe SSD but would rather be able to use a NVMe instead of the AHCI ones that you cannot really buy anymore. I'm running 10.14.5 on my MP3,1 with a Nvidia GT 710 (Kepler chip works OOT but without Bootscreen). I would hypothesize that partly there is not a lot of price competition for Samsung in terms of the Thunderbolt 3 external drives (X5), so they are priced high, and I actually like Samsung NVMe SSDs (that is what I bought for my Lenovo ThinkPad, and have in some desktops), but at the moment the combination seems to be priced high and perform more slowly than other set ups.I'm interested in this too. Plus the Trebleet enclosure appears to cool better and the combination benchmarks better (check into the video at about 4:27 time). ![]() $400 - Sabrent 2TB NVMe SSD $130 - Treebleet Thunderbolt 3 SSD enclosure _ $530 - TotalĬurrently, the Samsung X5 at 2TB is $690 on Amazon, so for attaching a few screws and a heat pad, you save roughly $160 (23%). With a Sabrent NVMe, so that comes in at a cost of: In this case, looks like they used a Treebleet Thunderbolt 3 SSD enclosure: Through some additional searching, I found this on Youtube: Samsung deserves credit for getting a ThunderBolt external drive out early, but I do not think the premium they are trying to get is worth it anymore. ![]() And some vendors, like Sabrent, put it together for you, at considerably less cost than Samsung does. Granted, I have not seen any external NVMe drive boxes that support the newer PCIe-4 yet, but there are active cooling variants out now for PCIe-3, and really we are talking say 5 minutes effort saves you $100-$200 (and if you pick the right external drive enclosure, runs faster). There is a bit of a Black Friday sale going on now with Samsung, for the X5 it is here:īut they also have sales going on NVMe m.2 sticks, so there is still quite a price differential. Speed (some of the NVMe based stuff are benchmarking faster) The main reservations I have on the Samsung X5 are along the lines of:
