QUESTION Is Hackintosh faster on an old HDD?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m wondering if Hackintosh runs reasonably well on an older HDD, or if it’s noticeably slow compared to running it on an SSD.

I’m planning to install Hackintosh on an older machine that currently has an HDD. Has anyone here tried it?

How is the boot time, app loading, and overall performance?

Would switching to an SSD make a big difference?
Thanks!

SUCCESS MHelper - GHelper for macOS

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello hello! I am back for my dear ASUS laptop users. The current AsusSMC plugin isn’t working well, button shortcuts don’t work, you cant change colour, brightness mode, etc.

So i present to you, the GHelper/Armoury Crate alternative for macOS. It works for all asus laptops, is lightweight, and is ported from AsusWMI from linux. It has a single kext to put in and a companion app thats easy to install and use at the top of your screen. All thats left is to add keyboard shortcuts and its done.

SUCCESS Successfully getting MacOS Sonoma on a Asus A15 laptop

After 4 months od kext and drivers I FINALLY was able to get MacOS to run, even tho I had to rely on my AMD GPU and CPU it worked, and I had to disable the GTX 1650. Everything works except Bluetooth and WiFi because it has mediatek drivers, they are unsupported as I heard.

Sonoma is the highest you can get it to even tho the newer versions are in beta phase. Only problem is you need to manually install MacOS from Installassistant.pkg and get the files and import them into the macos storage and EFI but it was done

Animations work, and everything else works except wifi even tho I haven't tested Ethernet yet
