If you have tested using the new drivers, please let us know by sharing your results here!ĭRAFT : OS X Driver for NVMe M.2 Solid State Drives Released The results show NVMe drives are some of the fastest SSDs available.

To run the new drivers, install the NVMeGeneric.kext in Clover's EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11 folder and boot. We've tested using the M.2 Samsung 950 Pro and the SM951 NVMe drives with success in OS X. The most common SSD slot types are Type B or M for SATA drives type M for PCIe or NVMe drives. Please note, some M.2 slots are keyed only for SATA and PCIe devices, and cannot accept NVMe devices. Examples: Intel 750, SM951 NVMe, Samsung 950 Pro Max Bandwidth 985 MB/s per lane (up to 4 lanes).

NVMe drives have a streamlined protocol better optimized for solid state drive.

Examples: Kingston HyperX Predator, SM941, SM951 AHCI Max Bandwidth 985 MB/s per lane (up to 4 lanes), but in practice limited by the protocol.

PCIe/AHCI drives use a faster connection than SATA/AHCI above, but still have the overhead of the AHCI protocol.

SATA/AHCI drives are completely equivalent to normal SATA drives except with a different size/connector.

An example of this drive is the Samsung 950 Pro. The third type is the new NVMe technology, only available over the M.2 PCIe slot. Fully functional drives such as the Samsung EVO M.2 (SATA using AHCI) and the Samsung SM951 M.2 (PCIe using AHCI) are already in the CustoMac Buyer's Guide. The first two use Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) legacy SATA using AHCI and PCIe using AHCI. There are three different types of standard M.2 drives.

Here's an example of a three native M.2 slots on the Gigabyte Z170X SOC FORCE (between the normal PCIe slots): Adapters are also available for any standard PCIe slot.

These slots were first available on the 9 Series chipset (16/32 Gbps, PCIe x2/x4) and are now double the speed (32Gbps, PCIe x4) on 100 Series chipset. The M.2 standard and replaces the old mSATA standard. M.2 is really a small PCI-Express (PCIe) connector on a motherboard which provides bus interfaces for PCIe, SATA, and USB 3.0. However, any CustoMac with M.2 slot running Clover can use them as boot drive.ĮDIT 2016-07: Rehabman's patch-nvme script (HackrNVMeFamily) is now our preferred method for enabling NVMe. Because of Apple's EFI, these off the shelf SSDs cannot be used as boot drives in a standard Mac. NVM Express (NVMe) M.2 solid state drives are now working in OS X with a new driver by JimJ at macvidcards. Great news for those who want to use the same types of super fast solid state drives that Apple uses. For Sierra and earlier macOS, see RehabMan's HackrNVMeFamily co-existence with IONVMeFamily using class-code spoof as his driver will allow NVMe SSDs to be used as boot drives. Additionally, Apple's High Sierra now natively supports NVMe SSDs. It will not work in Sierra or High Sierra. Update: This thread is now obsolete as JimJ, the author of the below mentioned NVMe driver, no longer supports his driver which has not worked since El Captian (then, only as a non boot drive).
