hi all

I have a 1tb samsung evo msata drive with an external enclosure but will it be wasted with a mac pro 6.1 as ports are only gen 1? Probably 400 read write?

My crucial 750gb ssda are about 500/r/w With a usb enclosure.

Any thunderbolt enclosures or should i sell it and get a sata ssd instead? Thanks

Thunderbolt gen 1 has 20Gbps bandwidth. That’s about 2500MB/s, way higher than a mSATA SSD can do. Waste for what?
 
transferring large files. Blackmagic is reporting around 350 and 450 with my rMB. I was getting more than that with my Crucial 750GB SSD.

Im looking for something as fast as the internal SSD which does around 950.

That sounds like you use a low cost adaptor which bottlenecking the whole connection. Both the Thunderbolt 1 and Samsung Evo are not limited to 450MB/s.

But anyway, if you want something as fast as the internal SSD. You can either go for SATA SSD in RAID 0 (the cheaper way). Or go for PCIe SSD (e.g. 960 Evo if you are running the lastest MacOS).

The 2013 Mac Pro has Thunderbolt 2. Either way, both 1 and 2 are faster than the single SSD.
 
Would of been nice if there was some inexpensive TB SSD enclosures!
