I ended up replacing the Multibeast kext in /System/Library/Extensions with this GenericUSBXHCI.kext ( thanks). For people reviewing this later, you’ll probably be fine with MultiBeast alone. I’m pretty sure this was only because I’m running a beta build of Mac OS and MultiBeast doesn’t yet have support for my particular kernel. I could see it present, but not loadable by my kernel. The MultiBeast kext didn’t actually work for me. I initially installed the USB 3.0 – Universal kext using MultiBeast. When I decided to get this going, I was running Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite Public Beta 2. Though my adventure through USB 3.0 in VMware would still apply for you… I ended up sporting the GMYLE BC628. I forget where I bought it, as I ended up shelving it for a few months before the real push to getting it working arrived.įor those without ExpressCard slots (non 17″ users), you may as well enjoy that thunerbolt link, cause you almost definitely don’t have an ExpressCard reader.


ExpressCard has the potential of not being an external solution, as you can see. The other route is thunderbolt, there are various adapters out there, I find this one to be especially encouraging. ExpressCard was my first choice, and ended up working out. There’s two vehicle-types you can chose for the mission, if you’re rocking a 17″ MacBook like myself. Getting to the launchpad (Device Selection) So come along with me on my tale of computery enhancement. Thankfully, all the heavy lifting was done for me by people with far more free time (lucky freaks).

In short, it cost me about $10 and I had to install a custom, but generic kext to enable USB 3.0. Here’s the tale of getting USB 3.0 working in a tolerable regard on my 17″ MacBook Pro.
