So why the one what I have now wont accept more than 64GB ? If I use more than 64GB it’s booting but somewhere in the middle of bar loading I get white screen with cross circle (like no boot HDD).
I suspect you need Mojave, otherwise you are limited to 96GB due to firmware.
@danj will check, thanks.
@danj so not sure where was problem, but I had RAID 0 with Genuine Apple RAID card, so I took it out, made fresh install macOS High Sierra and all good. Picture on top (can I add picture to comment or only to answer ?)
Do you thing that RAID card can be issue with 128GB of RAM ?
@roboscrap - That might be an issue. Did you put the RAID bd in yet?
