Hi,
What is the fastest and well performing usb 3.0 card that I can buy for Mac Pro early 2009 running Mojave.

I have heard from somewhere that with some cards it splits speed somehow when transferring from a USB 3.0 hard drive. Because of having limited ports, which I don’t want.

So what would be the best choices for me to transfer data through USB 3 hard drives, On my older Mac Pro that just has USB 2.0

Thanks in advance.

I don’t have a Mac with builtin USB-C to compare, but the transfer rates are virtually identical to a USB-C external ssd using this on my Mac pro as I get on an Intel Hades NUC which has native USB-C

Why not post this in the proper thread?
