MaxConnect (4-Drives-MiniSAS Cabling) BackPlane RAID Attachment for Mac Pro 2009 / 2010 / 2011 / 2012 [Model ID: 4,1 & 5,1] Models 3.5” to 5.25” Adapter: In order to be able to boot up on an internal hard drive (you cannot directly boot up from any drive connected to the MAXPower card), you will need to have your boot drive use one of the SATA connectors for the DVD drive (i.e. One of the 5.25” drive bays). Again, there are many out there, but I bought the OWC one. OWC Multi-Mount: 3.5″ to 5.25″ Hard Drive adapter bracket set.

The Pro also has two ethernet ports, which can act as a “switch” for another device (ethernet port sharing). This was handy when transferring files from the original iMac.

Hi guys from owc, I have a 2008 3,1, so here the questions: First: do you have some illustrated (photo) instructions on how to modify the mac and install the raid card with the sas cable? At least a picture where to locate the sas connection in the logic board and to put the cable? I already put a SSD in the optical drive as a boot drive, so I need help with the Maxpower.

SSDs aren’t designed for 3.5″ drive bays; they are usually designed for the 2.5″ form factor used in most notebook computers, and Power Macs don’t have 2.5″ drive bays. Other World Computing (OWC) to the rescue. This company, which really understands the needs of the legacy Mac user, has developed, an adapter that lets you install a 2.5″ drive in a 3.5″ or 5.25″ drive bay. For $18, you can adapt a 2.5″ SSD to fit a 3.5″ drive bay, and for $40, you can mount two such drives in a 5.25″ drive bay.

Any thoughts on the other card i posted about above with the ' Mini-SAS' feature that somehow makes all the internal SATA II bays into SATA III? Here is the article detailing how this is done, he unplugs the mini-sas cable (that feeds the 4 internal HD bays) from the motherboard plugs a mini-sas extender cable into it and then plugs it into the newly added SATA III PCIe card that has an internal mini-sas port. I think the card he says he used costs a few hundred quid in the uk but if I can find a card with internal mini-sas port that is cheaper i could do the same thing? Or, if this is what I understand it to be, a mini-sas to SATA adapter cable, then I can use the card you suggested and this cable to upgrade the mac pro's backplane to SATA III? Otherwise the card you suggested would be great for getting a SATA III drive into my mac pro. I guess i could put this drive in the empty optical bay?

Mac Pro 5,1 History Before looking at why the 5,1 is presently the professional system of choice. Lets look at where it came from, and the design features that allow it to dominate even in 2015. Initially released in 2010 the Mac Pro 5,1 was the pinnacle of the classic Apple tower design. The 5,1 debuted with a 12 core 2.93GHz processor as the top spec option. By it’s final release in 2012 we saw a 3.06GHz 12 core system.

All SATA versions are currently downwards compatible, so a SATA 3.0 disk can work with a SATA 2.0 port but the peak (external) transfer speed is limited by the port in this case. Thus you will not have the full benefits of the new interface. However, the new generation of controllers may bring other performance improvements over their SATA 2 counterparts, so they are still worth buying. But if you're not planning to get a new computer any time soon, you can get one with slower access speeds, e.g. Around 250-300MB/s.

PCI-E SSDs can be set up in a striped RAID configuration, without the need for a RAID card, if more than one is installed, this will lead to even higher read/write speeds. Flash storage: Finally, the same flash storage that is installed in the Mac Pro 6,1 can also be installed in the Mac Pro 5,1. Flash storage is incredibly fast, reaching read and write speeds over twice as high as regular SSDs. Whereas the Mac Pro 6,1 is limited to a single flash storage blade, the Mac Pro 5,1 can install multiple flash storage drives as you have 4 total PCI-E 2.0 slots. Again these blades can be set up in a striped RAID configuration (without a RAID card), 2 1TB flash blades in a striped RAID can reach read and write speeds of beyond 2,000MB/s.

What’s involved in the process? Once you install the Highpoint card in your Mac, you’ll notice that the mini-SAS cable that connects to the logic board is located near the front of the Mac Pro and the internal port on the card is located near the rear – much too far away from each other to connect. This is easily remedied, however, by using to bridge the distance. Once connected, the four drive bays in the Mac Pro are now being controlled by the RAID card, making it capable of both high-speed data transfer and more advanced RAID options. At this point, we run into a bit of a problem; the Highpoint card isn’t bootable in a Mac. You will need to put your OS on a drive installed in one of the optical bays.

Hi, i have an ancient Mac Pro (intel 2.66 speed) built around 2008 i think. It currently doesn't boot up as system drive has died. I have a spare 4tb SSHD (Sata III) drive i was going to throw into it and was wondering if a PCIe card with Sata III might give me improved performance over putting it into the Sata II HD bays? I'm ok with it not hitting full Sata III speeds but it would be cool if i can get better performance than the stock Sata II bays i would normally plug it into.

In most machines, one slot would be blocked by the cooler. Instead of the tiny screws typically used to fasten the cards to the case, in the Mac Pro a single 'bar' held the cards in place, which is itself held in place by two 'captive' that can be loosened by hand without tools and will not fall out of the case. On the original Mac Pro introduced in August 2006, the PCIe slots can be configured individually to give more to devices that require it, with a total of 40 'lanes', or 13 GB/s total. When running, the Mac Pro did not support or, limiting its ability to use the latest 'high-end gaming' products; however, individuals have reported success with both CrossFire and SLI installations when running, as SLI and CrossFire compatibility is largely a function of. The bandwidth allocation of the PCIe slots can be configured via the Expansion Slot Utility included with Mac OS X only on the August 2006 Mac Pro. The Early-2008 and later Mac Pros had PCIe slots hardwired as follows: External connectivity [ ]. The backs of a Power Mac G5 (left) and a Mac Pro (right) show the differences in arrangement.

Friday, October 14th, 2011 Author: Most of the time, your average xpc has a longer useful life than its PC counterpart. Unfortunately, the fast evolution of technology means that, after a while, that older Mac may seem a little slow and may not be able to take full advantage of current tech. Such is the case for earlier Mac Pros. As they currently sit, they only move data at SATA 2.0 speeds, roughly three gigabits per second. If you wish to put the drives in to a RAID array, you are limited to either a mirrored RAID 1, losing half your capacity, or a RAID 0, which is faster, but increases the risk of data loss.

This means if you want an upgrade, you need to shell out for another brand new system. Not the case with the 5,1 which can be internally upgraded as and when you like, without the need to purchase a new system. Summary In the end, it rings true that size does matter.

Sata 3 To Sata 2

The 5,1’s biggest strength is it’s PCI-E expandability and for this reason it does not need Thunderbolt, need extra storage? Install it on the PCI-E slots.

In the real world the EVO will serve you just as well at a lower cost. Here's a good write up: while they are biased to the Pro, our user's experience over two plus years of use suggest the EVO was just fine. The only thing here I do strongly recommend is you run the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.4 or newer) as it has TRIM services natively. You'll need to follow this:. You'll want to get a large enough drive so 1/4 to 1/3 of it is kept free once you install all of your stuff.

The drive they shipped is a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB (WD1001FALS-41Y6A0). This information can be hard to get, so I'm putting it in this post.

Your system has a SATA II (3 Gb/s) interface which can support any SATA I or II HD. Today you can find very large SATA drives (4TB). But the physical size of the drive must fit within your system. Your system supports 2.5' drive that is 9.5mm in height. The OS will not be your limiting factor.

Second: can I buy a Rack pro and use it with the external sas of the MaxPower card + the internal sas to build a RAID of 8 total drives? Does it work? Third: some people says SSDS are not quite good for build a raid, due to the decreasing performance to handle video for long period of playback. And HDs still are best for this. Do you have knowledge on this matter?

Plan is to put a GTX 908 Ti in, and run three monitors (card coming on Tuesday!). Got it booting from an SSD in slot 1, there’s a 4TB drive in slot 2, and slots 3 & 4 each have 6TB drives. Also put in an eSATA/USB3 card, got two 4TB external RAID boxes on via the eSATA (who needs Thunderbolt when you have eSATA?), and a USB3 hub. I plan on keeping this machine alive for a long timehopefully with 64GB of RAM!

If they actually used something decent like a cheaper Antec or Seasonic, they'd run practically forever. • - Friday, October 15, 2010 - That's because you never opened one up right? Never owned one and used it day to day? If Dell, or any of the built it yourself case vendors do cases like the Mac Pro they'll charge you more then apples does for the same hardware. It's like saying why buy a BMW 323 over say an accord. The BMW's a basic car, doesn't have a lot of features, doesn't have a lot of power. And no it's not for everyone.

If you are a video editor working in any kind of graphics or non-linear editing, a flashed efi card from any efi developer will have your computer crash while you are working at completely random events. I had one and yes, I tried everything between the earth and the moon for about 6 months praying that this wasn’t too good to be true. And yes MacVid Cards are not different because that is where my GPU came from. It was not quite there fault, however, I am sure they knew about the issue without saying anything. It is an issue with the web drivers from Nvidia and Adobe perhaps or just Nvidia.

The SATA interface on the Mac Pro has a top transfer speed of 3 gigabits per second. But there's another option if you're interested in maximum performance: go straight to PCI Express (PCIe). PCIe is the expansion card interface on the Mac Pro, the one you use for graphics cards and whatever other expansion cards you want to install. And there's a lot more bandwidth to work with - 10 gigabits per second. By going PCIe, you're going to more closely align your Mac Pro with Apple's new black, cylindrical Mac Pro. It uses the same connection, eschewing SATA for a direct PCIe link. The same goes for the new Haswell-equipped MacBook Airs that shipped earlier this year.

Doesn’t matter now. All I can say is that you will have to stick with the Sapphire HD 7950 until you leap to the next machine. I can’t decide whether it’s a good idea to buy a 5.1 Mac Pro.
