Not been a big problem, but decided to replace with a newer USB3 PCIe card that also has some USB-C ports and advertised as working in MacOS. It...

    Apple Silicon Mac Pro Use Cases

    Which Macs will skip M5 and wait for M6?

    I've got a feeling the Mini and iMac will wait over 2 years for an update from M4 to M6. Which I'm fine with. Perhaps the Studio and Pro too?

    Other MacPro SPI flash compatible chips

    I suspect this "list" is essentially "unlimited", but I wanted to share my experience. I corrupted the flash on my cMP 5,1. For technical reasons, it cannot be reprogrammed in circuit. I didn't want to ever be in this situation again, so I used some dupont wires to connect to a cheap Amazon...

    MP All Models Does MacPro has to be on to complete TimeMachine back up?

    I know there is a feature called power nap on notebook but there isn't on MacPro. I recently switched my HDD on my TimeMachine so I am starting a new back up and can't remember if the Mac has to be on until back up completes or not.
