Re: NVMe upgrade for Mac Pro 4.1/5.1 Mojave
I ordered the Crest card from amazon USA direct instead of going through the UK branch and that worked. It was pretty pricey with shipping and custom charges elevating the price to just under 300 dollars, but I can take it. :)

That way everything will be PCIe express as far as data transfer rate. Hopping this will give me another 3 maybe 5 years of service with my current machine

I hope adding the switcher fan and graphics card fan don’t increase the noise too much. I guess I will find out.

Re: NVMe upgrade for Mac Pro 4.1/5.1 Mojave
That's not partitioning in the classic sense.... It's a smart move if you want to simultaneously use both M.2 drives you will get up to twice the IO performance.

And the answer is the only way I'd know is to look at performance tests by folks like Anantech (the best consumer SSD benchmarks by far). e.g. You can see performance differences here https://www.anandtech.com/show/12670...o-ssd-review/2 Performance differences may also be due to DRAM cache effects (different sizes for different drives) and tuning setting on the controller/firmware. Currently for me I think the 1TB and 2TB drives are a great performance/price/density point. YMMV |

Am I correct that the Mac will see the dual blade one adaptor situation, as a single , 2 TB drive ? Or will it see as 2 - 1 TB drives ? If the latter then I can just choose to send PT files to one and send FCPX files to the other ? If it sees it as a single 2 _TB drive and it is not partitioning , then how would I designate which blade to send the data to ? Or are you saying I would not designate and it's spreading the data over both blades and I just have make two different folders ?

Re: NVMe upgrade for Mac Pro 4.1/5.1 Mojave
It is not partitioning (a drive) it is two separate drives... just use them that way. The way they can appear as a single drive is with software RAID, the card does nothing but give you two very fast physical devices.

Re: NVMe upgrade for Mac Pro 4.1/5.1 Mojave
Still researching this solution as a possibility for my Mac Pro. Is there full compatibility with a Mid 2010 Mac Pro running Mojave? I guess the card with two drives on the card would allow me to run Pro Tools on one drive and keep the instruments/samples files on the other.
