Review on πŸ’½ Sonnet Technologies Tempo 6Gbps SATA PCIe 2.0 Drive Card for SSDs (TSATA6-SSD-E2) by George Halbohm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

EXCELLENT, works great on my Silver 2010 5.1 MacPro 12core, Snow Leopard and Mojave!

FIRST. IF YOU NEED TO BUY SOMETHING PRODUCED BY SONNET, GET IT! Don't buy from any other company (unless it's Apple). Sonnet has been making Mac stuff since the early days of the Mac, I've bought boards from them back in the Apple Quadra 950 days and their stuff has always worked great, EVERY TIME, 100% ERROR FREE! I had to update 2 of my 2010's. Silver MacPro 12 Core and bought 2 of these each to keep my SSDs running at top speed (500MB R/W, with Apple SATA they were at 250MB R/W) and they got the job done with no complications, easy to install and works on both Mac OSX Snow Leopard (for FCP7 and Studio 3 Compressor use) and macOS Mojave (for iOS development). /VR.), engineer and developer of applications for Apple iOS. and should work in both Snow Leopard and the latest macOS (now Mojve). I need Snow Leopard for my main client who needs temp tables and MPEG1 (not possible in FCPX) and Mojave for iOS app development. AND ALSO. I have 2 12-core MacPro "Cheese Grate" 2010 models. I installed the maps on both machines, booted each machine and the maps worked right away, I didn't have to install any additional software, update the firmware, both systems worked and are working without any problems! GREAT! My MacPro now boots up before the computer lights come on! Aha! In front of these cards with internal SATA MacPro my display would light up waiting for the computer to boot up, although it's much, much faster than with hard drives there is still a lag. NOW I boot up the computer, the displays pick up the signal, the displays light up and the computer runs! Crazy! It seems that the display lights up and the computer is just turned on! Feel free to visit my website and ask, or ask here.JOHNAVATAR.com So I had to update
