    Hey guys, yesterday I was able to pickup a MacPro A1186 EMC 2180 for a decent price ($160.00). It didn't come with a hard drive so I took to the forums to plan out my next steps. I tried to install a Sandisk SSD drive but the SSD doesn't mate well with the MacPro drive holder and my 3.5"...

    USB SuperDrive for El Cap

    It is such an incredible insult to the Mac clientele, that there is an Apple accessory made for Apple computers and nobody tells you it does not work if you run El Cap.
