Q: What version of OS X does this driver support?
这个驱动支持ＯＳＸ那个版本？
A: 10.11
Q: Where should I install this driver?
这个驱动安装在系统那个位置？
A: /Library/Extensions – Note that the owner and group for the entire kext MUST be set to root:wheel
A:/资源库/Extensions(L/e,不是s/l/e)-注意，文件所有人和组的权限必须设置成 root:wheel.
Q: How do I set owner and group?
Q:如何设置权限？
A: sudo chown –R 0:0 NVMeGeneric.kext
Q: What devices have you tested this with?
Q:这个驱动你测试了那些设备。
A: Intel P3700 series, Samsung SM1715 and SM951 series
Q: Can I boot from an NVMe drive?
Q:这个驱动支持白果NVM SSD 启动吗？
A: No, not until someone writes a standards compliant EFI driver for the Macintosh.
A:不，对白果来说还需要一个符合通用标准规范的ＥＦＩ驱动。
Q: Doesn’t Apple supply NVMe drivers and EFI boot ROMs for their new machines?
Ｑ:苹果公司新mac电脑不支持nvme 驱动器ＥＦＩ启动吗？
A: Apple chose to make their NVMe devices and drivers non-compliant with the NVMe standard. Why they use the NVMe name for a non-compliant device and driver is a mystery.
A:苹果公司选择了非标准规范的NVME设备，不支持标准规范的NVME设备。
Q: Will NVMe devices speed up my system?
Q:NVME设备在我们系统上的速度如何。
A: Maybe. It depends on your configuration and usage.
A:依赖于系统的配置和用途。
Q: Why does my system report still say: “This computer doesn't contain any NVMExpress devices”?
Q:为什么我的系统报告说“电脑没有NVME设备连接”
A: Because system report uses Apple’s non-compliant NVMe kext infrastructure. Look under the PCI devices and you will see your NVMe device and it willthat the driver has been installed.
A:因为osx系统使用了苹果专用的ＮＶＭＥ规范，标准nvme将被系统是为PCI设备，在系统报告pci位置显示安装。
Q: What is nvme-cli?
Ｑ：驱动目录中的nvme-cli文件的用途。
A: This is a command line utility to issue NVMe management commands – if you don’t know what that means you can safely ignore this utility. This utility lets you define multiple namespaces on your NVMe device, as well as letting you query log pages and SMART data.
Ａ：这是一个命令行工具，你完全可以忽略它，用途是查看设备日志页面和smart数据。
Q: Who/what is MinnowStor? What do they make and why did they create this?
A: MinnowStor is a startup that has not come out of “Stealth mode”.
Q: Will an NVMe device cause my Classic Mac Pro to overheat our wear out sooner?
A: I will break my own rule about answering only coherent, intelligent questions. It is amazing that “armchair engineers” think the cMP has poor thermal engineering – it is an extremely well designed unit. There is the assertion that the cooling is poor due to high idle temperatures on the northbridge – this is totally by design! Apple likes quiet machines… so they keep the fans low and allow chips to reach temperatures that, while safe, are markedly higher than cheap PC designs [note: this trend continues with the new iMacs and MacPros]. If this bothers you use SMC and kick the fans up a notch – with the fan speed increased my northbridge idles at 47C – much lower than the so-called “well engineered PCs”. You can overheat your northbridge – if you have broken heatsink clips, failed thermal paste, or have a huge build up of dust inside your machine.
Q: What about all the conflicting information and opinions on the internet?
A: Consider the source. There are no editors or fact checkers on the internet.
