USB 3.0 works only when macOS is booted in - which means no macOS reinstall from USB disk - but who cares if You do macOS reinstall one time every few years or never - and if You do - You can do this trough every Mac's USB 2.0 port anytime.

It still can be speed up with PCIe SM951 SSD (to achieve around 1200MB/s) and fastest possible GPU which display Apple Boot Logo Radeon 7950 (which can be PC version and then flashed) - or latest GeForce.Ībout my SSD - I've chosen that M.2 adapter so it can fit nicely and sticked next to GPU (2.5" SSD will not fit there) and I've had no idea where to fit it without disassembly whole Mac to fit SSD in DVD ROM bay. It is professionally upgraded - which means Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste nicely spread all over CPU creating "mirror effect" and then 24 (because 3 washers per 8 mounting studs) applied because lidded CPU used for extra safety and possibility to use significant force to do screws not crushing sockets (video shows very low temperatures under 100% CPUs load). It was 4,1 2009 Mac Pro but upgraded to 5,1 2012 12 core specification. Purpose of this video it was to show how energy efficient is that monster 12 core Mac Pro and how fast and cheap can be compared to Mac Pro 2013 "trashcan". Special thanks to: therealguy419 for the Apple Magic Mouse v2. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac Pro (2010) 3.33GHz 6-core Xeon W3680 - Used, Good condition.My apologies for it is not genuine Apple unboxing. This is a collaboration of all the new Apple Products for 2018 to create one complete Mac Pro Setup. When OWC gives an estimate/description of the quality you can trust them on that.

Overall for a machine that has been around since at least 2012 and seen use I can't complain about the quality. There are a couple of small scrapes and a small divot in the case but nothing I can't live with. Have several upgrades in the planning like replacing the system drive with an ssd and adding other drives inside.

I really love how I can update things in this machine h/w wise unlike my old iMac.

It came with Sierra on it and was easy to backdate to Yosemite 10.10.5 because all the audio software I use isn't ready for Sierra. Booted right up and is fairly quiet - can hear the fans when the room is quiet but even then they're not all that loud.

Verified Buyer Reviewer: musicman691 Location: NJ Age: Over 65 Experience Level: Power User Owned Product: 1-3 months Rating: 5/5 Great machine NovemI was fearful of getting another refurb to replace the refurb iMac I got from Apple 5 years back but those fears were allied when I got this new 5,1 cheesegrater. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac Pro (2010) 2.8GHz 4-core Xeon W3530 - Used, Fair condition. I am very happy with my system and this approach to assembling it. By going for used and legacy components I was able to assemble a very powerful system for thousands less than a comparable new system would have cost. While my system is technically a legacy system, with this CPU it's a BEAST! The additional cores and speed give it the juice to run very resource-hungry plug-in modules with hardly a hiccup.

I subsequently did a CPU upgrade to bring it to a 6 Core 3.6 GHZ machine with 32 Gig RAM. I bought this computer to be the platform for my main Pro Tools system, an HD3 Accel system.
