Pci Ssd Boot Drives For Mac High Sierra
I added a new SSD drive to my mid-2010 Mac Pro, and want to do a clean install of latest OS, but keep hitting snags.
Apple Mac Pro 5,1 Support. I’m going to start off by saying yes. If you are running a Mac Pro 5,1 2010/2012 system, then your machine will run macOS High Sierra, and more excitingly it adds support for some new components. If you’re running a Mac Pro 4,1/5,1 (2009), this is everything you need to know. Your 4,1 system will run MacOS High. I have an M.2 AHCI PCIe SSD and I am considering purchasing a second one to install both in a 2009 Mac Pro in a RAID 0 configuration using Disk Utility similar to the setup in this video. I have used my current M.2 AHCI PCIe SSD in the past as a single bootable drive into macOS Sierra, but want to increase performance and storage by setting.
My existing startup drive is in bay 1, and the formatted but empty SSD is in bay 2.
Pci Ssd Boot Drives For Mac High Sierra Vista
My current drive is still running Yosemite, so was planning to do a clean install of High Sierra on the new drive, and then migrate my data from the existing drive to the new SSD.
Original plan was to use Internet recovery to load the system onto the new drive. But I am in a building with a shared wifi, and apparrantly there are limitations to what type of wifi security works with internet recovery. I can connect to the wifi, but not to the internet through this manner, and I don't have easy access to the router or a wired connection. Also, since my current drive is running Yosemite, it seems that is what OS Recovery would install.
Wondering what the next best method for installing the OS on the new drive would be? Spss download for mac os sierra. Not sure if I can just download it, and install it on the SSD from my current startup, or if I can to create some kind of external bootable drive.
Any suggestions most appreciated.
Mac Pro, running Yosemite 10.10.5
