Re: Worth replacing 2008 Mac Pro for upgraded 2010 Mac Pro?
If it were me, I would get the 2010 mac pro you have mentioned. also as LDS stated I wouldn't put the SSD in a drive bay. But would go with the Samsung SM951 m.2 drive and an PCIe m.2 adaptor he mentioned in one of the remaining pcie slots
The PCIe SSD option as oppose to putting it in a drive bay it costs more but you will be creating a more future proof machine. The New Samsung SM 951 , 512 GD is the fastest option . Also for that era Mac (c MP) make sure you get the SM 951 in AHCI - M2 version, not the NVMe version. As a quick comparison in that mid 2010 - 2012 westmere And HDD give about 130 to 150 read/write speed An SSD in drive bay about 250 - 350 A samsung sm 951 256 GB in pcie slot 3 or 4 about 500 to 750 A samsung sm 951 512 GB in pcie slaot 3 or 4 about 1200 to 1600

Worth replacing 2008 Mac Pro for upgraded 2010 Mac Pro?
Well, I have a Mac Pro 2010 12 core 3.33 ghz (2010 not 2009 flashed) coming with 64 GB of RAM - got a deal on it - $1,470 shipped (has a 5770 vid card, an 240 GB SSD and 1 TB drive which I don't really care about). I'll definitely consider the M.2 on the PCIe card - great tip! I'm hoping that going from a geekbench multicore score of 11,000 on my 2008 Mac Pro to over 30,000 on this new machine will equate to being able to set the hardware buffer lower for lower latency tracking with native plugins. Of course, I could be totally wrong. I'll report back my results.

Re: Worth replacing 2008 Mac Pro for upgraded 2010 Mac Pro?
I have the same machine (but mine is upgraded 2009) and have never been happy with its power. I never felt like i got the PT 11 speed gain.
I might have to try this pcie SSD. K Roche do you have your multi core before and after scores. I think mine is currently around 15kb

I do still have Mavericks installed on one of my two HDD drives, so I can run a before and after test by switching which drive I boot . Thats how I ran the BlackMagic tests shown.

I would definitely recommend getting a 2010 or 2012 12-core. You can find them for around $2k on Ebay.
Benchmark speeds are comparable to the new trashcan Mac Pro.

Re: Worth replacing 2008 Mac Pro for upgraded 2010 Mac Pro?
Good evening everyone.
Old thread if I may revive. Still running my 2008 mac pro 2.8 quad core, and recently just got a deal on a 2010 2.8 quad core. Will remain on PT9 for a while longer. I don't know much about the technical aspect between the two, so any input would help my decision on which one to keep? Please forgive for the small screeshots THANKS mac pros.jpg

Re: Worth replacing 2008 Mac Pro for upgraded 2010 Mac Pro?
i mean from memory the quad in the 2010 is a little more powerful clock for clock..
but if you really want a meaningful jump, i would get the 6 core 3.46 ghz model readily available from ebay or OWC.
