[jasongoldworthy]

I want to upgrade my Mac Pro from using a Data SSD to a NVME via PCIE slot

ive picked up one today from amazon and the PCIE NVME card


but my question is will it work ok in the Mac Pro ?

I got this PCIE Card https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GDFX3YJ/
and this NVME Drive https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07P5Q8YWW/

thanks for any advice ive not tried it in any form yet

I don't know if the site is staying current of various Mac mods, but it used to be the de facto source for such info: xlr8yourmac.com

Try checking there for any advice they may have.

BTW: What are your reasons for going that route???

And did you note and confirm the comments at the seller's site that you are all compatible?:

Note: Mac Pro 2009, 2010 and 2012 models support PCIe-AHCI SSD only.
...
Compatibility with PCIe NVMe/AHCI SSD (Incomplete List) :

I just thought I would mention there may be some compatibility problems you hadn't noticed. Just in case...

I picked up both items if they don't work in the Mac I can always use them in a pc I have so its no issue there.


I will have a look xlr8yourmac.com and see what advice is there.

if im honest the current SSD is only reading at Sata 2 speeds but its not slow in any form just want to try and push it to go faster I guess ?

thanks for the advice
