Re: Mac Pro 5,1 2009 with Xeon 12-core a good choice?
Pro-tools-expert has an article about installing a PCI thunderbolt card in a chessegrater. There's an extra step of booting into Windows first to activate the card, then soft booting into MacOS. Then you can run thunderbolt peripherals. I have a 2009 12 core 3.46 & am looking into doing just this myself....

If the Mac mini is anything similar to my new 6 core MacBook Pro, I would take the 2010 Mac Pro any day of the week. I basically spent 8 times more money on a brand new computer that still doesn't quite do audio production as well as a 10 year old machine.

Re: Mac Pro 5,1 2009 with Xeon 12-core a good choice?
The 12 core 5,1 is a great choice, High Sierra, Ultimate 2018.7
Running two HDX cards, a USB3 card, for external drives (this is superb) The firewire bus, runs UAD exclusively... it's a total beast! Without HDX cards, you'll get the equivalent power of two HDX cards, with the 12 core CPU. I was originally running a Native card, but trouble shooting with CPU spikes (now fixed) led me down this path, but Im really happy tracking into a busy session with HDX, this is where it comes into it's own.
