Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Enhanced Mounting Solution for SATA Drives - Sonnet Fusion Flex J3i (2019 Mac Pro) by Michael Bryan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great addition for a Mac Pro, but read the manual

The Sonnet Fusion Flex J3i is a great addition to any 2019 Mac Pro. Similar to the Apple-distributed version of Promise, this mount allows the Mac Pro to install and use 2 x 3.5" HD drives or 3 x 2.5" SSD drives (or a combination) via the Apple-provided SATA and USB ports on the Mac Pro. motherboard. The J3i comes with a bracket, two SSD disks and all necessary cables and screws. Installation should be easy, but I'm impatient and thought I could figure it out myself, but there are some key details regarding placement. moves. I ended up screwing and unscrewing the drives several times before reading the manual and realizing I was too impulsive and should have read the manual first. Also note that as of 2019 you will need a Torx T8 to remove the mount clamp. Mac Pro; The sonnet contains none. Otherwise, all you need is a Phillips screwdriver. After installation, I was very happy to have two high-capacity hard drives (two 6TB WD Black drives I had laying around) in my 2019 Mac Pro. The J3i holds them in place with rubber washers to eliminate vibration. I can barely hear these discs even with intense recording. After using this mount for a few days, I would recommend it to anyone looking to add more storage to their 2019 Mac Pro.
