Yes SATA III and probably good cards, OWC make nice stuff, but I'd have a preference to use a Samsung SSDs not OWC SSDs with them, like a Samsung SSD 860 EVO.. and get a large capacity one (which gives better performance and just fantastic wear life).
Sonnet also make nice SATA III adapters: https://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempossd.html
Yes that all SATA III aka SATA 6 Gbps. OWC and Sonnet talk SATA speeds so their "6" in the description means SATA III.
SATA I == 1.5 Gbps
SATA II == 3 Gbps
SATA III == 6 Gbps

Well then, that's most informative. You sound more like an I.T person than an Audio Engineer! LOL
OK, I just called OWC to return my SSD order which included the sled into the Mac Pro. I will go with your advice on the Card that I can add my own SSD to it. It makes more sense than the all in one NVMe PCIe Card I was looking at.
Thank You for your input!
Cheers!
