MP 1,1-5,1 SSD options?

[changareth]

Hello,
I want to upgrade my SSD for my Mac Pro 5,1 2010 for faster HD speed. I was reading about nvme and the existing threads. I do have a Kingston nvme but it feels slow and I would get slow drive error when using Logic Pro. I see it could be a pcie 2.0 vs 3.0 issue that the hd might not be running at this optimal speed. If I get

I’m not so good with computers ?

Refer to this thread for all the info:

Hey bro,

These are the speeds I'm getting with my setup. It's probably not useful, but whatever...


WD Blue 3D 2.5" SATA SSD 1TB [SATA slot#2]

HGST Ultrastar 7k4000 SATA 3.5" HDD 4TB [SATA slot#4]

Intel 730 2.5" SSD 480GB [SATA slot#1]

Intel 750 PCIe NVME SSD 400GB [PCIe slot #2]

WD Blue 3D 2.5" SSD 1TB (via USB3) (I can get peak write speeds in the low 400s, and peak reads in the high 400s)

I don't use the PCIe SSD anymore, as I am considering swapping my 580 with a larger GPU, and I may need the space. I also have the Angelbird Wings X2, and it works fine, but it was not faster than the Intel 750. I don't have it installed right now, and I don't have another spare 2.5" SSD right now, so I can't post speeds.

Here's my specs. This is a 5,1.
