The reason I felt encouraged was because, having become a little more adept at using commands in Terminal, I was able to use Terminal to 'ask why' it would not mount. There are a series of powerful commands/tools that can be used in Terminal to manually mount the drive - but for certain reasons listed below I was not able to get across the line and make one of these drives work in 10.13.6 no kernel panics or version control flags to prevent successfully installing the same version kext that still works reliably with 10.10 yosemite. I managed to make far more progress than I anticipated when trying to install the kext drivers on macOS 10.13.6įirst I was able to install the kext without complaint (i.e. I gotta say - with where the price of this hardware is in the secondhand market - I'd really like to revisit the notion of trying to get these enterprise-grade PCIe SSDs working on a more modern release of macOS. The exact model of the PCIe cards I have is:Īny help or comment is highly appreciated! :-(Īnyone there with a solution to make these pretty cool SSDs work on a Mac Pro 5,1 with Sierra? Tried disabling SIP (System Integrity Protection) and installing from root. Lost the Fusion-io when upgrading the OS. No success on passing the drivers from Mavericks to Sierra. Now I am upgrading Mavericks to Sierra to see if the drivers are passed to the new system and I can get the Fusion-io Drive to show under Sierra.

Volume shows up fine but since the drivers have to be loaded from the OS, the card may not be bootable. Then installed the drivers downloaded from SanDisk website. Thinking it was going to be an easy fix, I started looking for the respective drivers but that prooved to be quite a challenge since Fusion-io was acquired by SanDisk recently.įinally found some drivers for OS X 10.9 and 10.10 which evidently didn't work on Sierra. So I checked the system profiler and alas! They show up in their respective PCIe lanes but with no driver installed! I installed the cards and they were not recognized by disk utility. price was unbeatable so I took them right away hoping that my Mac Pro 5,1 could do the rest. I recently came accross a couple of Fusion-io PCIe SSD cards.
