Note about compatibility and throughput:

Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with Mac Pros and PCs offering an available PCIe 2.0 x1 slot or better.
For full throughput on PCs:
- PCIe 2.0 x1 slot or better is required. Use of a PCIe 1.0 x1 slot will reduce performance.
For full throughput on Mac Pros:
- 2010 & 2009: Use either x4 or x16 as all will provide full throughput.
- 2008: Use x16 slot for full throughput. Use of the PCIe 1.0 x1 slot will reduce performance.
- 2007 & 2006: All slots are compatible, but are PCIe 1.0 slots and will deliver reduced performance.

1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences.
In terms of standard gigabytes, 1GiB ≈ 1.074GB and refers to the actual formatted capacity of shown under Mac OS 10.5 or earlier and Microsoft Windows OS.
Specific application environments such as temperature and duty cycle will affect the overall reliability.
Performance may vary by machine or the SSD installed - see compatibility tab for details.
Accelsior may be used with Bootcamp only if the entire formatted capacity of the Accelsior model is completely dedicated to the Windows partition.

Reviewer: StevevonKettering Location: Dayton Age: 55-65 Experience Level: Hobbiest Owned Product: over 6 months

Rating: 5/5 Excellent piece of kit September 2, 2016 I bought two of these cards to put two hand-me-down M-Sata drives (256gb and 128gb) into my 1,1 Mac Pro. The speed up over the 7200 rpm WD drive was immediately evident as start up went from thirty seconds to about ten seconds. Having a suite of Adobe aps as well as Toast Titanium 14, I was rewarded with fast loan and render times. I went from about thirty minutes to compress and burn a dvd to about fourteen minutes.

The drives mounted easily with the included screws securing the drives. The cards were easy to add, being reliable PCIe cards. I can think of no negatives with these cards, save for my own inability to initially clone the original host drive onto the card and have it recognized as the new start up drive. I used a trial of SuperDuper to clone the drive, then used the option command upon hearing the start up chime to select the new drive.

I would recommend this item to a friend! Customer Videos:
