OWC Accelsior S is compatible with: Mac Pro Mid 2010 Quad-Core Model ID: MacPro5,1 Mac Pro 4-Core Model ID: MacPro5,1 MacPro4,1 MacPro3,1 MacPro1,1 Mac Pro 6-Core Model ID: MacPro5,1 Mac Pro 8-Core Model ID: MacPro5,1 MacPro4,1 MacPro3,1 MacPro2,1 Mac Pro 12-Core Model ID: MacPro5,1 Xserve Model IDs: Xserve2,1 Xserve1,1 Xserve Quad-Core Model ID: Xserve3,1 Xserve 8-Core Model ID: Xserve3,1 PC Desktops: Compatible with Intel / AMD Process based PCs capable with the specifications listed above. PCIe capable servers: Compatible with PCIe expandable servers with the specifications listed above. OWC Mercury Helios Thunderbolt PCIe expansion chassis NOT COMPATIBLE: HP DL 380 G7, HP DL 380 G8, Dell PowerEdge R620, Dell PowerEdge T620 Drive Compatibility: When used together, the Accelsior S and the 2.0TB Mercury Electra 6G SSD are compatible with the MacPro4,1 series and MacPro5,1 series. This device combination is NOT compatible with the MacPro1,1 MacPro2,1 or MacPro3,1 series. Note about throughput: PCIe 2.0 x4 slot or better is required. Use of a PCIe 1.0 x4 slot will reduce performance. 2009-2010 Mac Pro. Installing Accelsior S into any open x4 or x16 PCIe 2.0 slot will deliver full throughput 2008 Mac Pro. These models have two x16 PCIe 2.0 slots, which enable Acceslsior S to deliver full throughput. Installing Accelsior S into of the two x4 PCIe 1.0 slots will result in Accelsior S being addressed as a gen one, one-lane card with performance limited to real world 190-200MB/s data rates. 2006-2007 Mac Pro. These models utilize PCIe 1.0 slot which cannot be configured (even with the Expansion Utility in OS X) to address Accelsior S as anything but as a first generation one-lane card. As a result, Accelsior S performance will be limited to 190-200MB/s data rates. If maximum data rate speedis desired, we recommend the installation of a 2.5" OWC Mercury SSD in an open Mac Pro drive bay.
