A cMP Owners Day to Celebrate
I was not expecting Apple to continue support with the cMP in future releases, no matter how small this OS update might seem to be, it’s incredible how they’re still continuing support for these machines. I’m just blown away, but at the same time very happy with this news. Goes to show that... -

I bought a Western Digital 1 TB SSD (WD Blue) to speed my Mac Pro up. Curiously enough, if I put it into one of the HD bays the SSD does not show up in Disk Util - it's as if the drive bay is empty. Connect the SSD to one of the optical drive cables though, and it pops right up and works fine...- Cock Robin
