You can see more here: In a nutshell: trim force enable = for Apple Hardware that didn't came with Apple SSDs the patch = for Hackintoshes (I guess) Both do the same.

Allan Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 But you're right @eSaF. I notice that with the NVMe drivers we don't need to worry about, but using SATA SSDs we need to enable it. Now with the newer versions of macOS, we can just run the native command. If we put a SATA SSD on a real Mac, to prolong the life of it is a good idea to run that command.

obus Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Hi @eSaF I observed that your your Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus is showing up under Apple SSD Controller. I have the same disk but mine are showing up under a Generic SSD Controller. Could this have to do with which version of Big Sur you are running, (I'm on 11.5.2) or could it be something else? Any suggestion?

Any suggestion? Reveal hidden contents Use this. But change to your IOPCIPrimaryMatch. I saw improvement on stability after using this kext. The question is: put this in front of NVMeFix.kext or after, in opencore config?
