Choosing second SSD for macOS

Nikita0820 opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

Good evening, please tell me which second SSD do you recommend?

For Windows, I use the bundled one: SSD Samsung PM981 256 GB (MZVLB256HAHQ).
As I understand it is the best option for the second OS - MacOS?

I want a fast and stable experience with these 2 OS (Windows + Mac). My laptop is 1050ti, i5 8300h (2 gen). Other specs: first SSD - 256, second - i dont use, HHD - 1TB, RAM - 8gb at first slot, second i dont use.

Can I use HHD 1TB in my laptop to save files from these two systems?

Huge thanks for your work and efforts!

Thanks a lot for your answer! What about risks: overheating, burned out video card, problems with cooling? Does it have this one problems? What problems have hackintosh Catalina in Mi Gaming Laptop? Do I must to do make a BIOS modification?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use at the same time 2 ssd and an hdd? Because I read in the BIOS that ssd2 and hdd can't be used together. In that case i follow this issue to choose a second ssd

I use 3 SSD (HDD replace to SSD)
They work well together.
