 * While you can plug-and-play most of my hotpatches if you have an x1c6, I still suggest that you dump and disassemble your own DSDT. This is imprortant as your DSDT maybe different from mine. And furthermore, you get to learn more about what's actually going on.

+* NVMeFix](https://github.com/acidanthera/NVMeFix) is still in its early stage. However, it has dramtically improved NVMe power management. In my personal experience, it is no longer far from SATA power consumption. I now recommend that you go with an NVMe SSD for the faster speed.

-Replace factory Samsung PM981 with preferably a SATA M.2 SSD, as it is [more power efficient and plays nicer with APFS than an NVMe M.2 SSD](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-lenovo-x1-carbon-6th-gen-battery-life.254508/#post-1768978).
