assuming same price…

or I may try the Crucial T700…

I may film some 5k raw clips on my video camera and test the playback in FCPx

Going to get some sleep...will try NVME tomorrow.

[backinblackx86]

Okay, before I spend any money today on an NVmE, I am going to pull the WD (Sandisk) 850x 1TB from my AM4 build. It currently has Sonoma, Ventura, and Monterey installed. Oddly the AM4 system cannot boot Monterey but Sonoma and Ventura are functional. Of course I will use the EFI we have built for the Trx50.

Also, I have removed the 6 5.25 DVD RW drives from the case to improve airflow to the CPU cooler.

[Lorys89]

6 dvd rw?? 😵🙈

[Jaidy]

I had been running a 990 pro before moving to Z540, and it was very stable for me. I have WD SN850x too (two of those), but I use them as data drives since 990 Pro was faster in random IO..

You might wanna wait for this disk coming out shortly. It might have better random IO than 990 pro...

[backinblackx86]

Checking in, haven’t used the system much…it did start right up and boot Ventura from a cold start.

[Jaidy]

Why are you on Ventura again?

@backinblackx86

if you have found this R15 try this bench when you have some spare time:

No particular reason, just the recovery installer that I had on hand. I will attempt Sonoma as well as CB R15 and report back.

[backinblackx86]

Somewhat of a dual purpose test: I pulled an NVME disk from my AM4 setup that contains vanilla installations of Monterey, Sonoma, and Ventura. I connected the drive to the rear USB-4/TB port with a USB-C NVME enclosure rated for 10 Gbps, purchased at my local Best Buy (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-m-2-nvme-to-usb-c-ssd-enclosure/6500317.p?skuId=6500317) The OpenCore Boot picker (loaded from the EFI on my SATA SSD) showed the NVME drive's installations as "external" options and booted right into Ventura without fault. While technically not a TB device, it did work! Next I will give Sonoma and Monterey a go...as well as the older CBR15...stand by

[backinblackx86]

Well that all worked out...as proof of my post above, booting from usb4 ports with an external NVME worked well. Much to my surprise the system booted both my Monterey installation, something my AM4 system will not boot, as well as Sonoma. Attached are screenshots of system profiler alongside the About this Mac window. 

I did find this on IA for Cinebench...not sure if it contains MacOS...still downloading

Over all, I am very happy with the progress of this TrX50 machine....now what to do with it? I should shoot some 5.5K footage, it sure has been a while since I used a NLE. 🙂 Great work team.

Send me the efi of the am4 pc, I'll fix it for you to boot the nvme usb type c disksSend me the efi of the am4 pc, I'll fix it for you to boot the nvme usb type c disks 🙈😉

[backinblackx86]

I cannot seem to find a source for a working MacOS Cinebench R15. Any way you could post it @fabiosun ?

Will do, oddly the AM4 system actually does boot Sonoma and Ventura, just not Monterey. It too has an AMD 6800...stand by

[backinblackx86]

I will send the AM4 information directly to you as to not confuse this TRx50 thread...

 

[Lorys89]

Then open a new thread for build am4, and let's fix everything 😉
