I was a little surprised this is listed as a "Mac Pro (Mid 2010)". I had the impression that there weren't any 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro's until 2012!
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac Pro(2010 - 2012) 3.33GHz 6-core Xeon W3680 - Used, Good condition.Flawless - it’s now my home’s new Mother Ship.
You guys never disappoint.
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac Pro(2010 - 2012) 3.46GHz 6-core Xeon W3690 - Used, Good condition.This one came with an SSD so I didn’t need to add much to make it fly like the other one. She is amazed at the difference in performance from her old 6 GB iMac.
I added a couple of HGST internal disks to replace the two external ones we used for backup: one uses CCC and the other uses Time Machine.
Like the other used Pro I bought, this one was easy to setup (add disks) and very, very fast.
Did I mention the free shipping?
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac Pro(2010 - 2012) 3.2GHz 4-core Xeon W3565 - Used, Good condition.I got a quad-core zeon @ 3.2-ghz with 32-gb RAM and a 1-TB SSD. I am running three 27" monitors and my workflow has probably doubled. As a small biz owner I can't begin to put a price on that improvement. Besides the price advantage, I love the expandability of the older 2010-2012 big aluminum case. I added a USB-3 card and a 2-TB SSHD as a second drive.
Although they advertised the computer as "good condition" it looked almost new to me. Runs perfect. And things like rendering a video that used to take a couple hours now flies by in about 10% of the time it took before. In a word... a used MacPro in perfect condition at a fraction of the new price is a huge bargain.

Pros: very, very fast & expandable Cons: 90 day warranty (it’s used) and 3GB SATA
Details:
With the SSD and 32 MB memory, it’s very, very fast.
At the end are the other items I bought to install on the Mac Pro. I have separate reviews for each.
I added two new HDDs to take the place of the external backup drives we now use (one for CCC and one for Time Machine) and a PCI card for attaching the USB3 external offsite backup drive.
The multi-mount let me put the SSD in the lower “CDROM” tray which allowed me to use all four bays for HDDs. I had two other older drives which I am using as a level 1 RAID. SoftRAID is very handy for setting up RAIDs and it lets me “validate” drives beforehand and monitor them afterwards, even if they are not part of a RAID.
Interestingly, a RAID 0 approaches SDD-3G speeds. If you want to use four drives and create two RAID1s, you can combine them into a RAID0 and get both speed and redundancy. I used Black Magic to check the various disk speeds — USB 3 was third behind the SSD and RAID 0.
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.
Cosmetically, it looks pretty good — a few rubs on the edges is all.
Conclusions:
The only downside might be the 3GB/s SATA speed limitation. If I was buying this for what Mac Pro users usually buy one, it might not perform at the highest levels. But for an iMac replacement, it’s wonderful.
