Then I'll just use giant spin drives for my backups. So I'm hoping I can use the SM951 AHCI as my boot drive, and get a 960 EVO NVMe for a sessions drive. Another factor is I am forced to live on OSX 10.9.5 because I'm still running Pro Tools 10. Or at least so I've read that it can't operate as a boot drive unless it is AHCI.īut I'm wondering if I could use it as a sessions drive? Has anybody done this? Problem is these old Mac Pro's can't handle this new Samsung 960 EVO NVMe. but speed is a huge factor, and those numbers look insane. I've read that SATA drives have met their physical speed limits, and PCIe SSDs are like 3-5 times faster!.

So I have a 2010 2.66ghz 12-core Mac Pro that I'm about to upgrade to SSDs. If anyone has experience here, please chime in! Thanks! So other forums has said the Samsung SM951 (AHCI)*is the best performance possible for this era of Mac Pros, that it has to be AHCI to work as a boot drive.Īnother factor is I am forced to live on OSX 10.9.5 because I'm still running Pro Tools 10. But I'm wondering if I could use it as a sessions drive? Has anybody done this? The reviews out there in this specific situation are squirley, some people reporting they had to **** with the system bios to get it to work. Or at least so I've read that it can't operate as a boot drive unless it is AHCI.
And top of the line PCIe SSD NVMe gets 3,200 MB/s! I know there are more factors involved in overall performance, but speed is a huge factor, and those numbers look insane. Here's some numbers, typical 7200rpm drive will get about 100MB/s read speeds, Top of the line SATA SSD get around 300 MB/s read speed. I've read that SATA drives have met their physical speed limits, and PCIe SSDs are like 3-5 times faster!
