Else I have a samsung 960 EVO which I can fit, just need to completely wipe it first after backing up as its the boot drive of a hackintosh, and I need to get rid of clover.Īfter upgrading my 2013 MacBook Pro with a 1TB Samsung 960 Pro about three months ago, I switched to a 1TB Intel 760p this weekend. I have since reprogrammed it to 25, to see if I get better autonomy from the battery while sleeping with the Toshiba XG-5. My experience thus far with hibernatemode set to 3, was a nearly flat battery the next morning. However if you don't feel comfortable modifying the firmware, the pmset commands will prevent the machine from crashing at wakeup, however battery drain during sleep will be higher (the machine will never sleep properly) The reason we can't simply post up the firmwares for people to flash is A) its copyright Apple stuff, and B) each firmware is married to one particular machine (the ME region) so a machine flashed with a different machines firmware won't run correctly. Alternatively, you can use the pmset command to disable the power management features that cause a kernel panic on wake. Basically you dump the firmware of the machine in question, modify it and then flash it back using a special clip and a cheap programmer.

The flashing procedure is well documented in this thread.
