I think he was asking what the Blackmagic benchmark says for each drive if you remove them from the RAID0 configuration and benchmark them individually.
Got a tip for us?

Yes. I want to see how broken the g2x1 controller is. Does it always report g2x1 or can it switch to g2x2 in a different slot or computer? If the card is new, then it should be replaced.
I destroyed RAID0, but the result is the same in the same slot.
Placed it in a different slot same result (pcitree1)

Perhaps I will get a MacPro 6,1 in the next time and i want to upgrade the SSD to 2 or 4 TB. Which SSDs are good and available for the 6,1?

Are there any jumpers on the board? Maybe the number of lanes can be configured with a hardware jumper? Or, is there some sort of configuration software tool? Maybe the number of lanes used can be configured with software?
Avoid the Samsung 980 PRO, I had difficulties with Monterey 12.6.1 and Ventura. I am currently using a Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB.
I also have a Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB, just waiting to see when i can buy the Angelshark board for my MacPro 6,1
Hi!The new performance king: Samsung 980 PRO. The Verge has a initial write-up about it, PCIe v4.0 with read speeds of 7,000MB/s, write speeds of 5,000MB/s. Starting at $89.99 for 250GB of space, up to 1TB for $229.99.
Samsung’s fast, PCIe 4.0-ready 980 Pro SSD can future-proof your PC build
These are PCIe 4.0 SSDswww.theverge.com
I want to install this SSD on my mac pro 5.1, which controller should I buy to make the most of the SSD's features?
A PCIe v3.0 switched card, any on the first post listed as compatible, like HighPoint SSD7101A-1 or Sonnet M.2 4x4. There are also cheaper/slower cards, like Startech PEX8M2E2.
If you did not buy the 980 PRO yet, go for a 970 EVO Plus instead, where you don't need a PCIe switched card to run it and even a cheap dumb adapter works.
Can you suggest me some adapters that you have tried and that work without crashing the operating system?
Already answered that, any card on the first post that is a PCIe v3.0 switched will work.
It would be impossible to make such a list. If an nvme is not listed in post #1 then it might work or it might not work.
Thanks for your answer. I was just wondering if the listed nvmes will be compatible as a boot or data drive?
For example wd black 770 is listed as incompatible. But will it nonetheless work as a data drive if i put it into an nvme pcie card?
It says "multiple reports of KPs when in high load" which probably refers to load after it's booted in macOS. I would not trust it. Maybe try it in a USB 3.1 gen 2 enclosure if you want to use it for data. It will do ≈1000 MB/s with a good USB 3.1 gen 2 card, such as a Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 add-in card.
Sure. Good point. currently i use a 1tb 970 pro as datadrive and would like to replace it by a 2tb and cheaper nvme and put the 970 into a nvme enclosure. But
Instead of a titan ridge i went the usb-c card route, wich ofcourse will limit the speed of my 970 even more. But this is ok for me as long i get constant read and write speeds at arround 900 mb- as external ssd thats better than the samsung t7.
Ss a 970 pro replacement I know the evo plus is a potential candidate but from what i read it can get quite hot and throttles after arround 100 gb … so are there alternatives in that pricerange that dont slowdown the write speed?
