PippoX0 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi, i recently buy on Amazon the inatek Usb 3.0 HDD Case and i put inside my SSD Corsair Force GT 120GB 2.5". This case is optimized for SSD and should give a very high speed rate on USb 3.0 The problem is that despite all expectations , i cannot properly boot OSX ML from it. I have created two partition with OSX Lion and OSX Montain Lion and when SDD is connected directly to SATA port inside PC it works very well ( 430 Mb/write/read), but when i mount it in Inatek case, i am able to boot only OSx Lion .. ( Disk speed test MagicDesign gives 150/210Mb /Write/read) It's very strange - i have installed USB 3.0 Kext (PXHCD.kext) on both partition and i use Chameleon 2.1 snv 1820 to boot . On Usb 2.0 port is the same : doesn't boot OSX ML, only Lion. it seems that there are some incompatibilities with USb 3.0 port. My Hack is : Gigabyte H67N-USB3-B3 Socket 1155 Intel H67 DDR3 SATA3 USB3 HDMI CPU Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz SSD Corsair Force GT 120GB 2.5" HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" RAM DDR3 G.Skill Sniper F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR 1333MHz 8GB VGA Sapphire Ati AMD Radeon HD 6450 Intel HD3000 (on board) Case Micro Techsolo TC-020 MicroATX / power 400W Blu-ray Sony BD-5300S 12x BD/DVD/CD burner Acer S241 HL 24" 5ms HDMI monitor My try is to sustitute the case or find a workaroud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PippoX0 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 can you give us more details from linux using lspci -v to find out which usb3 controller is onboard? instead of installing additional kexts like PXHCD.kext you could have even fixed your dsdt properly to make the vanilla kexts work on your board. Thanks DirectXtraOrninary, I looked at Motherboard User manual and i found that MB USB3 controller should be NEC/Renesas USb3.0 controller Specific -> Renesas D720200 Any ideas how to get it working??

Dr. Hurt Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Use GenericUSBXHCI.kext instead of pxhcd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PippoX0 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I have installed GenericUsbxhci.kext and a new version of chameleon ( 2.2 Snv r2265) and now i am able to boot Montain lion and install Mavericks on Ssd/usb3.0 case. Speed rate with usb3.0 is increased too (165Mb/ write , 300,5Mb read). I have tried the case on usb2.0 and gives me only ( 35Mb/write/read).
