    MP 7,1 OWC 64TB Accelsior 8M2 PCIe 4.0 Storage Card

    Who has this installed on their MP 7,1? Very curious. No luck finding an independent review. If any forum member could provide a link to an independent review, please do share. And in the hopes of expanding potential responses, I'm open to the 32TB as well.

    Will HFS+ Damage SSDs?

    Hello Mac friends, Will using HFS+ damage SSDs (understanding that APFS was made of SSDs and HFS+ is for hardisks, for mechanical drives)? This is for Time Machine (speed is not a priority).

    MP 7,1 2019 Mac Pro SSD questions.

    Hi all, hope well. Question for you; Is it that the 2019 model MUST have two drives installed to function? If not can the two internal drives be configured as two separate ones as opposed to some kind of RAID that I assume it is usually?
