Customer Reviews
I bought a few of these for the Mac Pro 2010 & 2012 5,1 computers in the office. I was able to update to Mojave with ease. As stated, there is no boot screen displayed, but no biggie as I do not need to Option boot. Use Boot Camp if you do. I also installed the OWC PCIe Sata card and the OWC ACCELCIOR PCIe card (for bootable NVMe drives, even RAID). This makes these capable machines scream and boot very quickly. Note that you can install other operating systems and see the performance boost as well, such as Windows 10, Linux, and even newer, more current Mac OS versions, if you do your research, though this is not supported by Apple and not recommended on mission-critical systems.
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Good Card.I wanted to upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave but unfortunately Mojave is no longer available. So I'm stuck with High Sierra. But it's okay because I can still use my system as a daw. Just wish I could get IOS MOJAVE

We are delighted to hear about your positive OWC experience, and your feedback is of great value to us. This video card should enable you to smoothly upgrade to Mojave without encountering any problems. We'll be in touch soon to discuss potential options that can assist you in successfully downloading Mojave.
Reasonably priced (though almost obsolete at this point); card was packed very well and included the cable for this card, which requires twice the power of the old card. Another smooth transitions from OWC!
I would recommend this product to a friend!
