I just installed an EVO 860 SSD in my MBP, and I am considering installing Mojave. Does anyone know of any issues I should expect or be aware of pertaining to compatibility with this configuration? The SSD has only ever ran with High Sierra and is currently running High Sierra 10.13.6.
The main issues I have seen are with SSHD drives. I have not run in to problems with the SSD drives yet. But I would certainly do a Time Machine backup before proceeding. Also Microsoft wants more of your money so your MS Office 2011 will give you nightmares and slow you down to about 5% of your normal speed.
I recommend sticking with Sierra on your system. APFS has issues on SATA based SSD’s. You should also look at replacing your HD SATA cable as the Unibody systems have a fragile cable.
My MBP 2012 Mid is now running MacOS Mojave perfectly with SSD Samsung 860 EVO SATA III. I almost gave up because had issues with my flat cable. Replace flat cable and be happy. At first I searched a lot information and I got confused if this SSD work fine with my Mac. The answer is Yes. PS: My Mac has 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz - Corsair that I installed one year ago. The SSD (500 Gb) is running Mojave with APFS format. My older HD (500 Gb) with APFS format is installed in place CD Drive (HDD Caddy) Hint: Shutdown your Mac. Press (Option + Command + R) turn on your Mac. This command download Mojave from web to install.
Followed some advice from the previous Answers. I have the Samsung 860 EVO Sata 6gb/s SSD installed . i have it on the normal macbook journaled setting . And am currently installing macOS mojave
Did anyone experience slow speeds when updating to Mojave using the Samsung 860 Evo SSD drive? I previously had the 850 Evo which was much faster to boot and load applications. I might revert back to the 850 Evo. I actually cloned the drive and TRIM is enabled, so its weird that it’s running slow.
