I have been wrestling with the loss of PCIe on the new Macs, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. *Hold my Beer*

Hello I have a Mac Pro 5.1 if I remove my os ssd from bay 1 and put it in OWC Accelsior S will it boot normally? Which is the max ssd size I can install there ? Thanks

Hopefully someone on here can help with my question as google research hasn't really helped. I have a MBPR Late 2013 15in inch - A1398 I've tried Samsung NVME 970 EVO plus SSD (with an adapter) but was greatly unimpressed as the the heat it generated was ridulous. It also ended up failing...

Hi folks, I've checked out the official literature and looked at the pictures, but im having a hard time visualising whether this PCI card setup will find in a 7.1 MP. I've seen pictures of people running dual 6900XTs with room at the bottom - but it'd be nice to get some help. I want to run...

Hi everyone, hope you are well. Can anyone recommend a PCIe 2.0 x2 and PCIe 2.0 x4 and adapter if required for imac 2014 and a 2015? Also, will I have to do any weird updates or is it pretty much plugin and boot in recovery, format/install? then in the future just normal updates via Mac OS...

Hi hope you are all well, a quickish question? I hear about PCIe lanes i think x2, Sata 3, thunderbolt 2. Am i best just wanging in a samsung Evo in the easy to reach sata3? or will dismantling it all to put in a PCIe drive be worth it or is it throttled and not much point? Thanks for...

Greetings. I am on: 4,1 MP flashed to 5,1 Radeon RX 580 64 GB RAM 2x 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Catalina (10.15.7) Boot ROM MP51.0089.B00 SATA SSD as boot disk 2x NVME M.2 blades via PCIe adapters on my two PCIe 4x lanes remaining after putting in the GPU (which covers my two 16x lanes) All...

Hi all! Hoping to add in this thunderbolt 4 add in card to attach my 3080 to my Pro Display XDR. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/Accessories/ThunderboltEX-4/ Will this card be plug and play on the Mac Pro 7,1?

The ExpressCard/34 Thread: expansion options for 2006–2011 MacBook Pros OVERVIEW Although now a relic, the ExpressCard/34 slot, the successor of PC Card/PCMCIA slots found in PowerBook G3 and the larger PowerBook G4 models, were introduced simultaneously with Apple’s transition to...

In my 5,1 mac pro, I have a Sonnet M.2 4x4 PCIe card with two 2TB nVME SSDs configured as a JBOD concatenated set that I use for storing VST audio libraries. I started running out of space so I just added a new 2TB drive. After rebooting, OSX (Mojave) ask me to initialize the drive and I used...

hmmmm - trying to add Thunderbolt 3 to my Mac Pro 2013... I use a Sonnet Echo Express III-D external PCIe expansion box for a few storage cards, and I am upgrading my Echo Express to TB3 via a TB3 Upgrade card from Sonnet. This card replaces the TB2 card in the Echo Express and the new TB3 card...

I really need some help/advice please, I’ve successfully (well I think) installed 1TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe stick into my 27” IMac 5K 2017. I used this adapter: Prior to installing it into my iMac I used carbon copy clone to clone my Internal SSD onto the NVMe stick and it was booting fine...

4,1->5,1. Can I boot W10 on a PCIe 2.5" SSD if I'm just cloning my current W10 over, not a clean install (as I understand, you can't clean install over PCIe)? When I was initially installing W10 on this Mac Pro, I remember it was impossible to do thru Bootcamp, although Bootcamp drivers were...

Can anyone confirm if I can run 2 bootable drives (Mac + Windows separately) off a single PCIe card, if I intend to clone the Bootcamp partition before popping it in the adapter? They're plain old SATA SSD drives.

Currently using my 7,1 for the past few months and loving it. I spend most of my time in MacOS between work, audio production and some software development. I also boot into Windows for games, and replaced the Pro 580 GPU with an RX Vega 64. The only thing lacking is storage. I spent a little...

In preparation for the acquisition of a MacPro (7,1) I've identified the Promise Pegasus (HDD with 32 or 48TB capacity) as an external peripheral. This will primarily function as a back up. During my research, I continually came across the terms PCI Controller Cards and PCIe. I understand what...

Does anyone have any ideas on a solution to free up a blocked x16 PCIE port when using a thicker GPU? I have a XFX RX 5700XT GPU that is pretty thick. Right now the GPU card takes up the x16 Slot 1 and also covers the x16 PCIE Slot 2. I have a AbleConn Dual NVME M.2 PCIE Carrier Adapter that...

Struggling to find any of these for the new Mac Pro? Am I missing something? i have a PCIe usb card, but I need another so this time thought I’d get a usb 3.0 one just to future proof, but can’t see any here in the uk.

Hi, I have the 7,1 MP and need an additional USB type A I/O card. I have so far tried the Sonett USB3-4PM-E Allegro as well as the Inatek KT4005. So far to almost no avail. The Sonett had 2 of 4 ports functioning, including power. The other 2 were dead. The Inatek works on all 4 during system...

Recently I tried a Samsung X5 external Nvme M.2 SSD, connected via Thunderbolt 3 to an end-2017 Imac, pumped up on steroids with 64 Gb Ram (OWC 2666 Mhz DDR4 SODIMM PC4-21400). Yes the 2666 Mhz are working even it that model is using 2400 Mhz originally (the advantage, in case you buy a new Imac...
