Does the Mac Pro v1.1 support SATA II 6Gb/s?

Does the Mac Pro (late_2006) support SATA II 6Gb/s internal hard drives?

Of course not, not in the sense that 6G existed but you still can use any SATA II/III specification drive.
So yes they are supported in that sense.
Only limit is if you use current SSD you still get great IOPS and such just not the sustained writes.
NO Mac Pro actually has an SATA III port. And it is more about features and specs and all drives have to be backward compatible or drive vendors would be foolish and go out of business (not everyone can or wants or needs to upgrade their motherboard).
You can add PCIe SATA 6G such as CalDigit and others.

  • HT6099 why does the mac pro (late 2013) only support up to 60Hz at 1080p? TV screens are pretty much all 120Hz. So much for future proof.

  • What does the Mac Pro do? and who uses it?

    Hey guys, I want to know What does the Mac Pro does and which type of people use it.

    To add a slightly less technical perspective, I bought a new Mac Pro because it fits my preferred working style rather than because I need its specific computing power (And also because my 2008 MP crapped out and I got tired of fixing it).
    When my old Mac Pro died, I ran out and bought a Macbook Pro Retina and used it as my desktop while waiting for the new cylinder MP. The MBPr was stunning and performed like a champ. However, I was reluctant to use it as a laptop (i.e., travel with it) since it was my sole platform for client work and I didn't want to jeopardize my ability to work/deliver should something nasty happen on the road.
    So maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, but I like to have a desktop mac for my primary workstation (I'm a graphic designer and photographer) and a laptop for the road. I use a high-end, wide spectrum monitor for color critical work, so while it's true that an iMac would have the power to run the stuff I need, I prefer to have options with my monitor.
    Again, just another perspective that might factor into a purchase decision. How do you like to work and what works best for your situation? It isn't always mandatory to have the fastest and latest (unless, as in my case, it falls into your established criteria/working style).

  • Does the Mac Pro Support SATA III?

    Hi everyone, I've been wondering for a long time: Does the late 2012 12-Core Mac Pro support SATA III 6Gb connection? If not, is there any way of making it SATA III?

    Most commercially-available rotating drives cannot possibly source data off the platters at higher than a momentary bursts of up to 125MBytes/sec, or about 1.0Gbits/sec. That means SATA-I speed is not a bottleneck.
    A few drives are faster, and some SSD drives are faster.
    Many drives available today are capable of transfers at up to 6Gbits/sec.They will operate correctly at the Mac Pro's 3Gbits sec Bus speed. But since they cannot produce data from the drive platters at those speeds, you get at most a tiny, momentary burst at that speed.
    6Gbits/sec is far higher than other bottlenecks in the drive. There is no point in paying extra for this spec, as the drive cannot achieve it steady-state, and it provides no measurable advantage. I refer to such practices as "specsmanship". Feel free to read "cr@p".

  • Does the mac pro back up to i cloud automatically

    does the mac book pro back up automatically to the i cloud?

    iCloud is not a backup system for your Mac, so the answer is no, not automatically and not manually. Not at all is the best description. Time Machine is the Mac backup system and you already have it.

  • How fast does the mac pro run xp with 3d apps

    Hi all am planing to upgrade to a mac pro, but am not sure how it will run xp and some animations softwares on the xp side,
    i was just wondering if any one knows the speed and fast the mac pro can render with 3d max mental ray. and the problems it will encounter when running xp.

    If your plan is to run XP with 3D, why not BYO and go after an Intel X58 Core i7.
    Otherwise, keep your eye on Apple Specials (ref'd) units.

  • How many install disc does the Mac Pro come with? Snow leopard is preinstalled.

    I have an application install disc that has ilife and a few others but I'm thinking that I may have disc for the system and optional installs somewhere.
    I bought the mac pro tower in march of 2010.
    I cant remember what came with it.
    I thought I would ask before I start digging around in my messy office!

    Two Disks: Install Disk & an Applications Disk. You can call AppleCare, if you lost yours, and for a small fee they will send you one.

  • Does the Mac Pro support OpenCL

    there is a game i have been trying to play but cant because every time it starts loading ti freezes at 100% im told its becuase my mac does not support opencl
    but when i went to the apple store they told me it did support opencl.

    Well, that isn't a Mac Pro nor a desktop computer. It's confusing for us when you don't provide correct information then post it in the wrong forum!!
    The on-chip GPU like the HD 4000 do not support Open CL without the addition of a second GPU which the computer does not have.

  • Does the mac pro support WPA2 network?

    I am trying to figure out if the Macbook Pro supports WPA2 network.

    Even the earliest MacBook Pro model (MacBookPro1,1), model# A1150 supported 802.11b/g wireless with WEP, WPA, & WPA2 security.
    WPA2 minimum requirements for Macs are:
    AirPort Extreme Card
    OS X 10.3.3
    AirPort Utility 5.0

  • Does the Mac pro 15'' (with AMD Radeon) support WebGL?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a Mac Pro 15'' to do development / showcasing WebGL.
    WebGL is best supported by Chrome and Firefox, however i'd like to find out if WebGL is supported by the AMD Radeon HD 6750M GPU?
    Can someone who owns a similar system let me know if WebGL is supported?
    Thanks!!

    Apple only recommends what they have tested themselves on currently-shipping machines.
    Since they didn't SELL denser DIMMs, they did not bother to test them before that Mac was discontinued.
    There are four slots, the last two of which are shared. You can install 8GB DIMMs (pairing is not necessary) for very reasonable amounts of money, often, but not always the old DIMMs can be retained if desired. You can also install 16GB DIMMs under certain restricted conditions if you do not mind the expense. This Mac-centric Vendor has done their homework on the issue:

  • Does the mac pro scratch easily?

    I was thinking of getting a mac pro but I'm worried that'l itll scartch and break easily. or Dent. Does anyone know for sure?

    Yes the case will scratch of it comes in contact with harder surfaces like the sides of the tower tray that hangs under my desk.  Also a gentle press on the the screen panels will show you that they will dent easily.  My guess is that a Mac Pro will go a long time, take a lot of abuse and still work great even though it's scratched and dented.

  • How do you connect 3 HDMI monitors to the new Mac Pro running Maverics. HDMI to thunderbolt adaptors only support 2 displays. The fine print in Apple docs HT 5918 indicate  the Mac Pro will only support 2 HDMIs.  Anyone found a workaround?

    I am trying to connect 3 HDMI displays to a Mac Pro.  I am using a HDMI to thunderbolt adaptor and can only get 2 of the 3 displays to work.
    Does anyone know of a work around.
    Is there a systems configuration varaible for type of display?

    USB video adapters can severely limit graphics performance.  Use ACTIVE HDMI adapters instead.
