I am having wake issues with NVME SSD. No problems if it is SATA SSD. I know it is specifically related to NVME, either the drive itself and/or Apple IONVMeController.ccp. I don't know if this is just the way it has to be, or if there is actually a solution. Need help, thanks!

Some key points:

• NVME goes to sleep okay, but crashes when trying to wake
• SATA SSD sleep/wakes fine as long as an NVME is not connected
• NVMEfix.kext enable/disable does not matter
• SMBIOS doesn't matter between iMacPro1,1 or MacPro9,1

​

System:

• Motherboard: Maxsun H610
• CPU: i3 12th gen (Alder Lake), F series (no iGPU)
• GPU: RX5700 XT
• NVME: WD_BLACK SN770
• SATA: SanDisk Ultra II SSD
• OS: Monterey

​

SATA SSD (SUCCESS)
