Im currently running osx sierra on a 5 year old HD and I want to switch to an SSD, I dont want to have to reinstall everything so my questions are

 

1. Is it possible to use carbon copy cloner

 

2. Is there anything in particular i have to change in my system (bios or kexts ect...) in order for the ssd to work?

 

System specs:

 

motherboard: asus p8z 77v lx

cpu: i5 3570k 

ram: corsair vengeance 16 gb ddr3 1600mhz

You can do this with carbon cloner copy, at the maximum reistalli the bootloader,

If you use a clover, make a copy of the EFI folder
After reminding you to enable the TRIM, your SSD will last longer,
Then open the terminal and the command
sudo trimforce enable

Here's:

KernelAndKextPatches > KextsToPatch 

<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>TRIM Enabler</string>
				<key>Disabled</key>
				<false/>
				<key>Find</key>
				<data>
				AEFQUExFIFNTRAA=
				</data>
				<key>Name</key>
				<string>IOAHCIBlockStorage</string>

With Clover configurator under Kernel and Kexts patches: 

name: com.apple.driver.IOAHCIBlockStorage
find: 00415050 4C452053 534400
replace: 00000000 00000000 000000


Or directly in your config.plist, under KextsToPatch: 

<dict>
	<key>Comment</key>
	<string>TRIM for SSD</string>
	<key>Name</key>
	<string>com.apple.iokit.IOAHCIBlockStorage</string>
	<key>Find</key>
	<data>AEFQUExFIFNTRAA=</data>
	<key>Replace</key>
	<data>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=</data>
</dict>


EDIT: Oh man, @Allan is stealing my time to shine :(

@FALLOFMAN Yes, that's it.
 

As of the data, it should go in your config.plist under KextsToPatch:

But you already did it through Clover configurator, so it's not needed. Clover configurator did it for you.
You don't need to do any sudo command. After you saved your config just reboot. You can tell if TRIM is enabled by running this in terminal: 

system_profiler SPSerialATADataType | grep 'TRIM'

Or by just opening System Profiler > SATA / SATA Expres

should I enter the <dict> as well as the IOAHCIBlockStorage info? or can it be either or?

See my edit, it's either one of them. ^_^
Also, since you enabled TRIM through kextpatch trimforce is not needed

Just checked in sudo, no trim support, I think t has something to do with my EFI mount, Started a new topic for that anyway, thanks for the help

Apparently that patch does not work anymore. Just tried it myself and for me TRIM is also disabled

it was an error at my hand.
I wrote com.apple.driver.IOAHCIBlockStorage, but it should be com.apple.iokit.IOAHCIBlockStorage (or just "IOAHCIBlockStorage")

My bad, sorry. it's 4am here. :blush:

Didnt work for me but I think its maybe because im booting high Sierra off a usb stick, even though im editing the installations config.plist. 

I can't seem to get Sierra to boot from the ssd, started a new topic for that

If you also have a config.plist on your USB stick, Clover will most likely pick that one over the one on your SSD
