ivoryblade Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Hello! My internal SSD lifetime is running out so I'm thinking how to upgrade it. I don't want to replace it with slow Sata SSD so I want to buy OWCMercury Helios and install new nvme fast ssd, but I won't be able to boot from it using standard boot loader.... Is it possible to boot nvme ssd using Clover on real iMac? Edited August 30, 2018 by ivoryblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 For Clover to start from NVME there must be NvmExpressDxe anywhere out of the drive. Can't load driver for device from the device. If your firmware contains the driver then you don't need Clover, you can boot directly. Else you may boot Clover with Nvme support from USB stick but I am not sure it is comfortable.

Maybe someone knows any other Thunderbolt1-PciEX adapter instead of Helios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
