PCIe adapter may not work stably. Try another slot. PCIe x4 gen 2 is the only option. 2 PCI slot - unused. 1 PCIe x16 - used by graphics card - AMD Raedon 1 PCIe x4 - NVME SSD Verbatim brand.

vamose Posted April 29, 2025 Author Share Posted April 29, 2025 Based on my research, it is the controller of the NVME card, Verbatim. Refer to the post below, before investing in your next NVME SSD for MAC compatibility. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/choosing-a-compatible-nvme-ssd-for-your-macos-boot-drive.323479/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/360955-nvme-ssd-sequoia-random-freeze-help-required/#findComment-2831921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamose Posted May 1, 2025 Author Share Posted May 1, 2025 (edited) Thanks eSaF for highlighting this. Admin, let me know if you want me to take off the links. Unfortunately no were did I find any reference to compatible NVME cards, hence posted the links. Receieved WD SN770, 1TB, my mackintosh still random freeze. Can any one check my EFI, posted at the start of the thread?
