Were you aware that your Mac Pro has up to two(1) extra SATA ports on it's logic board?
That's right! Your Mac Pro has the ability to run 6 hard drives! But you only have 4 internal hard drive bays – what do you do with the extra two(1) ports?

 

You add a Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable!
With the addition of this simple breakout cable, you now have the ability to run external eSATA devices, such as the award-winning line of OWC Mercury single and dual bay drives, or any other eSATA device.

The Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable has been specifically engineered just for the Mac Pro – and is guaranteed to fit perfectly! It's the first and only solution of this type!
