so I would especially love to see others here that are actually running NVNe on cheese graters let us know what is working best for them. My understanding of SSDs comes from other places, including helping invest in and work with some of the companies that developed pioneering stuff in this space. And several Samsung T5 transfer disks/infrequently used samples, etc.

I am running on the latest 8 core MacBook Pro with internal 2TB NVMe SSD and an external 2TB Samsung X5 NVMe SSD.

I would love to have one now especially given all the upgrade options. I have no current *experience shared* in cheese graters. If you have PCIe slot/lane capacity in a Cheesegrater I would be trying to use a switched M.2 adapter card to get 4xPCIe 3 performance out of the PCIe2 slots.Īnd to be very clear.
You should be aware of those and if needed configure your system to minimize those times. You can find them, or when I am not typing on an iPhone I’ll find them and link here. I have mentioned boot time issues in other threads and provided links before some of the best online resources on this. But especially with NVMe SSD Cost heading to SATA SSD price points I know where I want to spend my money. how important those are to you/if the cost is worth it is a value call. NVMe is way faster than poor old tired ancient SATA stuff.
It makes no difference to read-mostly sample drives for example. How much Trim is important depends on what you are going. but turning on Trim even then should not hurt anything.
Trim works with SATA, and PCIe AHCI and PCIe NVMe SSDs (interval and via Thunderbolt), the issue is USB drives that will likely not pass through Trim commands. It’s natively supported on Mojave for third party SSD drives and has been for several recent macOS releases. Is your SATA Evo 850 running via a SATA III adapter? The native mobo SATA II throws away some decent sequential drive performance.Įnable Trim. So, questions arising:ġ Is there any truth about Trim Enabled being somehow 'bad' on Mojave/APFS?Ģ Is there likely to be a noticeable difference with an NVMe drive (some reports suggested it might actually be slower to boot)?ģ If I do go for NVMe, what drives/PCIe cards would be recommended for this setup, and is a heatsink necessary?Ĥ Is it safe to leave Trim Enabled to look after the other non-system drives after such an upgrade to the boot drive? I've read conflicting reports/warnings about use of Trim on Mojave, and the NVMe route has been suggested since Trim support for these new drives is apparently native. Audio drives are spinners, but I also have other Evo 840/850 SSDs containing audio samples and older OS partitions and backups.

I'm hoping Darryl Ramm will be able to give some guidance here - he's hailed by many as the ultimate NVMe guru!Ĭurrently testing Mojave on an Evo 850 APFS drive on the SATA bus in a 2009 cMP, upgraded to 12-core 3.06GHz, 5.1 firmware, HDX card/HD interfaces, PT 2019.6 Ultimate, GTX 680 Mac Edition GPU.
