Velocity Solo - Mac Edition for Mac Pro Upgrade your Mac Pro to an high speed SSD with the latest SATA III interface (6Gbs) * Uses a single PCIe 2.0 x1 slot * 2.5" SSD connects via SATA III interface * Additional Auxiliary SATA III connector for expansion to another drive Note: Solid State Drive sold separately How to install Velocity Solo in your Mac Pro Mac Pro Compatibility Info The Velocity Solo will function in all Mac Pro models, but will only boot in EFI64 machines which are the last 2 models, 2009 and 2010, also known as MacPro4,1 and MacPro5,1, which can be found by doing an "About This Mac", and then "More Info". The first two models, the 2006, 2007 known as MacPro1,1, MacPro2,1 are EFI32, so won't boot from the Velocity Solo, but will function as high performance storage. The 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 is EFI64 but does not boot reliably, and therefore is only supported as high speed storage. The Velocity Solo is the easiest way to add the speed of Solid State and SATA III to your Mac Pro Upgrade your system to the latest SATA III interface (6Gbs) and add a high speed SSD to boost the performance to the max Ever wanted to take advantage of the speed of an SSD in your Mac Pro? Easy to install, the Velocity Solo is an industry standard PCIe 2.0 card designed to add a 2.5” Solid State Drive (SSD) via a super fast SATA III connection. With data transfer rates of 6Gbs, SATA III is twice as fast as SATA II and takes full advantage of the latest SSD. The Velocity Solo uses a Marvell SATA 6G AHCI Raid controller, delivering speeds up to 400MB/s Read and 220MB/s Write.* The Solo also provides an additional SATA III data connection that can be used to connect to another SSD or HDD to provide unparalleled capacity and performance. Takes just minutes to install Simply connect your Solid State Drive to the Velocity Solo SATA III connector and slide into an available PCIe slot in your Mac Pro. Once installed, use Apple's built-in Disk Utility to transfer your OS and applications to the new SSD. Once complete, simply update the Startup disk preferences, restart your system and your Mac Pro will start from your new SSD. For additional capacity use the auxiliary SATA III connector for a super fast connection to an additional hard drive or solid state drive. Ideal for High Performance Applications and Improving Gaming Performance Running your OS and applications on an SSD provides a measureable performance increase, but the Velocity Solo is also the perfect upgrade for improving gaming performance. SSDs Improve Game Performance - As games become too large for their assets to be fully cached on modern graphics cards and main memory, the addition of an SSD for faster disk access during game play results in less in-game pauses and a smoother playing experience. Games are also faster to load and save when using an SSD. Blending Performance and Capacity Once you have upgraded your system to a super fast SSD, you now have the option to run your OS and applications from a fast, smaller SSD boot drive, while keeping your documents and media files on your original hard drive. * Many things influence SSD performance, including the testing application, operating system, background process, anti-virus applications, etc. For a more comprehensive list of things effecting SSD performance read this article from TheSSDReview. http://thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/optimization-guides/the-ssd-optimization-guide-2/ Uses a single PCIe 2.0 x1 slot Auxiliary SATA III port for additional expansion to any hard drive or SSD Ideal for use as a boot disk or scratch disk TRIM Compatible and can access capacities in excess of 2.2TB Fits Mac Pro Systems Velocity Solo Quick Start Guide
