![]() And likely be better off long term with a simpler system. ![]() You can get huge bang for the buck (or pound) here with very simple one or two M.2 cards in plain adapters. And without seeing extensive benchmarking I'd be dubious of any RAID controller performance claims. Doubly so for a boot drive (where you want as little complexity as possible that can go wrong). Tempo SSD Pro Plus 6Gb/s SATA Dual 2.5" SSD PCIe 2.0 Card with eSATA Portsįorget RAID 0 or anything with a RIAD controller in the data path, that is just silly with an SSD. Tempo SSD 6Gb/s SATA PCIe 2.0 Drive Card for SSDs Lastly, these Sonnet cards, that have the advantage of using 3rd party drives, so when prices comes down I could buy a large one to host my sample libraries instead of mechanical drives: Then there is the new Sonnet, but can the PCIe 2.0 slots in my Mac take advantage of the PCIe 3.0 specs? The Create Pro 2TB / 1TB cards are on the expensive side:ĢTB Samsung SM951 PCIe 2.0 x16 card for Mac Pro | 5,700MB/s read & write RAID 0īut they also have the 256GB / 512GB cards:ĥ12GB Samsung SM951 on PCIe 2.0 x4 card for Mac Pro | 1,500MB/s read & write I read that those cards must be installed in a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot for maximum speed. I have the original NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card in slot 1 and one HDX card in slot 2 installed. ![]() I’ve been looking at the Sonnet PCIe Drive Cards, and also lately at the Create Pro solutions. System boot is 44 instead of 56 sec, and loading a Pro Tools session isn’t any faster. I assume that optical bus has something to do with that. I have the impression that a faster system drive (SSD) would be a good first step.ĭon’t want to spend to much, and need advice making some wise decisions since at some point I ”have to” get a newer machine, maybe with a Thunderbolt chassis.Īt the moment I have my system (Mavericks 10.9.5) on a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500GB in the lower optical bay.ĭon’t see any big improvements compared to an ordinary SATA drive. ![]() Looking for the most cost-efficient way to upgrade my Nehalem: ![]()
