    MP 7,1 Cheapest way to install 2 NVMe blades in the 7,1?

    What is the cheapest way to install 2 NVMe blades in the Mac Pro 7,1? I do not need any RAID features. If it was bootable it would be nice but not really necessary.

    MP All Models RAM - Buyback UK

    Hey hive mind, wonder if anyone knows any companies who buyback RAM. I purchased an OWC 128gb upgrade kit for my 6, 1 MP but never used it. Seems a waste for it to be sitting here. I know the US have loads of buyback companies - but struggling to find any in the UK. Cheers

    I'm seeing a lot of talk about video editing and Threadrippers, but as a Logic user I'm just trying to figure out what the configuration sweet spot is on the 7,1. It seems to be the case, going off the emerging benchmarks, that the base Mac Pro will provide no meaningful gains over a low-mid...

    I happened to stop by a local Apple retail store over the weekend to see if they have the new Mac Pro on display yet. The employee said they don't and they've been told that their location will NOT have one for display. Only select locations will have the Mac Pro on display. This store was...
