I could easy re arrange the PCIe Cards on my Mac Pro 2012

These are the cards I am using:

- MSI vVideo Card
- Pro Tools HDX
- Free PCIe
- StarTech 2-Port 10Gbps USB-A & USB-C PCIe Card

If you please can suggest me in which slots you would put the cards and if the NVMe drive you suggest for the MacOS or for the Pro Tools Sessions?

right now the MacOS is on a SSD

Thanks again

EVO970, just pop that sucker in there. Partition, OS and audio. Let it rip my friend. Can only gain what the buss is going to let you have.

The complexity it introduces just potentially causes problems, and very few folks need it with fast SSD and disk cache. In particular if you can get the M.2 drives in the cheese grater classics configured to effectively have 4 x PCIe3 lanes via a switch based adapter card then you are getting pretty impressive performance out of a single card. And with 990 Pro M.2 drive going up to 4TB that's not a bad size for many users who don't have lots of samples or need video storage.

Thanks for mentioning the updates/tools you are current on that stuff, it's been a long while for me.

No thank you. I first got educated from your expertise years ago, and been learning a lot since, greatly appreciate.
