Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Hi, I'm telling you about a problem I'm having lately: since I installed Sonoma cleanly on an nvme I'm having problems when I start the system with a 2 TB Toshiba HDD formatted in exfat that I use for data. This disk takes a while to mount... I have to wait about 15 minutes until it finally mounts itself and shows its folders and partitions in the Finder.

I have this disk formatted in exFat because on the computer I have a second disk with a Ventura installation, a third disk with Windows 11 and a fourth disk with Linux Mint. All operating systems on separate disks.

I use opencore 0.9.5

In Ventura I never had this problem, but since I installed Sonoma I have it in Ventura too. In Windows 11 and Linux Mint I have no problems and they recognize the disk perfectly.

I don't know what it could be. Windows is configured at the Energy level so that it turns off the system, and so that Windows "releases" the disks and keeps them retained for us.

SMART tests of the disk give it perfectly fine. I have run the Ventura disk manager (first aid) several times and nothing...

I have an external USB drive also formatted in exFat that when I connect it, Mac OS recognizes it immediately, only this HDD gives me problems.

I will appreciate any help you can guide me with.

Im using exfat on sonoma and just work perfect and fast

seems a hardware problems, cable or bug

Hello MaLd0n. Thanks for your answer.

The cable is new and the strange thing is that it is only taking time to assemble in Ventura and Sonoma... in both Windows 11 and Linux Mint it works perfectly.

How could I see if there are disk errors on mac os?

Thank you in advance!
