Re: Pro Tools HDX2 working on new Mac Pro
This article explains the problem. It is simply a matter of the six pin power connector size, so it should be possible to find a solution at a more reasonable cost.

Re: Pro Tools HDX2 working on new Mac Pro
I'm loving the nMP's complete silence (and I do mean complete).
How much fan noise is a single HDX card going to introduce, vs nothing at all? |

Re: Pro Tools HDX2 working on new Mac Pro
Yes. The new Mac is soooo quiet. I am loving it. But, that pesky little fan is probably going to be quite loud, compared to the MP2019. I can definitely hear it kicking in in my 2012 Mac Pro so it is going to be a challenge. Then add a fan in a m.2 host card and things are not as nice anymore...

Re: Pro Tools HDX2 working on new Mac Pro
As I wrote on Facebook, I have a different 6 pin male connector that used to plug right into the MP2019 and from what I can tell, those Belkin cables are all male connectors. That means I can’t use them. I have a second pc cable but that terminates in a 4 pins in a row bigger white molex cable. What can I do to get power? Is there 12 v power in the eSata ports?

I’ll take some proper closeups. You may need to replace the Avid provided cable if it is different to the one they gave me. |

I guess it's the one in this image.

Re: Pro Tools HDX2 working on new Mac Pro
Yes exactly. 6 pin to the CPU and 4 pin to the cards is what came with the HDX. Belkin bundle doesn't have any 4 pin connectors.
EDIT: never mind I am totally wrong. I forgot that the Avid cable connects to another cable and not a port. Been a while!
