? storage: Real machines show two SSD controllers (Apple S1X NVMe on most, Samsung AHCI on a few); Apple does not say which units got which.
Research notes (unverified)
- Thunderbolt 2.
- The FaceTime HD camera is a PCIe device (Broadcom 1570) that needs the out-of-tree facetimehd driver.
- BCM4360 Wi-Fi has no in-kernel 802.11ac driver; the proprietary wl driver is the usual route.
- Storage: 88 of 92 observed machines use an Apple S1X NVMe controller, 3 a Samsung AHCI controller; both drivers are in the kernel.
