Hi guys, I have Mac Pro 3.1 and Apple RAID card and I am wondering if will worth to make SSD RAID 0 for system. I am using Mac for photo and video editing and I am not sure if will be any massive performance ? Thanks a lot for any ideas. EDIT: I have this one
Hi If you can figure out a way to use the pci slots I could see it having a nice benefit in terms of reading and writing speeds You could get a card that takes 2 m.2 SSDs and raid them together to make a very very quick drive You will need to take into consideration how much space your pci bus has left as if you already have one raid SSD so you could be close to maxing the pci bus on it and adding more might not have a big if not any increase Hopefully this helps Any questions please ask Thanks:-)
Your normal BUS speed is 3.0 using the bay slots. I’ve gone with the OWC PCI card to get 6.0 BUS speed. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%2… I pulled my RAID card after the battery went dead and I saw the cost to replace it. It was about $135.00, here how it’s done: https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0…
