Just to give you an example: Some Samsung SSDs have slightly strange TRIM behavior that basically seems to get unnoticed during normal workloads.
But when you build a Hackintosh with a recent version of macOS this exact TRIM behavior results in boot times of several minutes (compared to a dozen of seconds or so on a SSD with a better TRIM implementation).
I’m not saying Samsung will ever fix their TRIM implementation, but in theory this would be fixable by a firmware update.
And don’t get me even started on the crap that TRIM is, why we shouldn’t need it in the first place, and how convoluted its development was.
