Re: PCIe SSD cards and Mac Pro upgrades
mSATA is only half the speed of regular SATA. Is it a card that allows you to RAID 0 the 4 mSATA chips?

Re: PCIe SSD cards and Mac Pro upgrades
Yes it is.... It maybe a little bit slower BUT... for my Audio Mixing work on my HD native rig.... Have not come across a problem "YET" and for 50 bucks for 120GB a card its almost a no brainer... IMO.....

Small, but good price. Please post the manufacturer and model number when you post stuff like that.

Re: PCIe SSD cards and Mac Pro upgrades
does anyone have any performance info regarding rendering/consolidating 40 to 90 mins worth of material - let's say a 5.1 print master? - and noticed marked differences between 4.1/5.1 mac pros with pcie SSDs, without, and the 6.1/2 mac pros?
curious if it's possible to get pro tools to render 50% faster or if the software itself has a limit |

I'm essentially trying to ascertain if there are any significant speed differences when consolidating using a mac pro with an pcieSSD and without... i'm trying to understand if the processing is throughput at the disk level or if it's more processor based so i can decided if certain upgrades will help my process at all |

On a side note- why punch then have to consolidate? Use destructive punch into your stems, and then you don't have to consolidate.

Re: PCIe SSD cards and Mac Pro upgrades
Wait what ? I must be missing something, is he not talking about an M2 type SSD chip and adaptor in a PCIe expansion slot ? If that is what he is talking about then depending on size of SSD and brand it would appear to be some where upwards of 2 to 4 times faster than an SSD SATA drive

But it's important to remember that it's still SSD SATA protocol running through a PCIe host card. mSATA is basically being replaced by M.2. That is a PCIe protocol with 10Gbit/s potential performance. The Squid from Amfeltec (mentioned earlier in this thread) is using 4 M.2 chips in a RAID 0 on PCIe. They have figured out a way to give each of the chips a full x4 lane bandwidth. It's crazy fast.
