In order to use that amount of bandwidth you also need devices that are capable of that much output. Not to sure if thats going to happen with any sense of urgency sense the SATA2 bus is capped on Mac Book Pro's. Pretty sure Apple will adopt USB 3.0 though as it seems to be the standard the industry is coming to adopt. Not sure about desktops but I'm fairly sure some third party company will create a USB 3.0 express card for macbook users.

If anyone's willing to donate a free MacPro, USB 3 card and SuperSpeed gadgets and cables - I'll blog about and report my Mac experience in detail. (Perhaps the card and drive can handle the 'how fast' issue at a hardware level?) I'm really not sure - yet - But for simple things like Buffalo's USB3 PCI-e card and, say, Western Digitals new external USB3 interface hard drive - Apple may not NEED to write 'special 3.0 drivers' to support rather simple USB MASS STORAGE block data transfer. So even keyboards with built-in USB3 ports will be a smart thing to have, with far fewer 'There's not enough power' warnings popping up onscreen when you plug something in. Even the higher milliwatt power available on a USB 3.0 port will be a boon to charging iPods, iPhones and whatnot in half the time - and syncing data on handheld devices will be far swifter. It's a better match for the demands of HDTV Tuners and capture devices, Solid-State SSD flash drives, ultra-high resolution image scanners - things that USB 2.0 already has a problem keeping up with. The 10-fold speed improvements of USB3 promises benefits for more than just hard drives. Even if Apple pursues 'Light Speed' or whatever - it'll still be a 'higher-level' bus technology that'll be able to interface to a USB 3 controller (or FireWire, or any other physical interface types) and grant access to the flood of SuperSpeed 3.0 devices that will hitting the market.

I assume that we can't use this card on a Mac?

The Mac Pro 5,1 should be able to provide enough power to drive PU31-AC-2 and connected devices through PCIe bus.

Youll need to refer to something a lot newer if you want to draw conclusions from it. Last edit at 06192020 02:05PM by Lew Zealand. Since the 2008-12 Mac Pros use PCIe 2.0, those cards top out at 500 MBsec, which is the transfer rate of one lane of PCIe 2.0. In quotes because the small file transfer rate is still 50x what an HDD does.

I notice that Link Width is 1x, Im not sure of the significance of that.Īnd Im probably going to put an NVME SSD (via PCIe) card in place of the SATA SSD, so that slot is probably not available.
