#OCTO 8 ON MAC PRO 5.1 PRO#
The Mac book pro I bought in between is still functioning, but very slow compared to when it was new, even, when I upgraded it with an SSD. My 2008 Mac Pro is still intact, so is my 2005 Mac G5 (as an office computer obviously). If you buy a new and powerful computer for audio today, it will probably be still a valid machine in 4 years, so IMO it is important to consider, how long lt will last. This is just my experience, could be, that advances in technology will make last today's MacBooks and iMacs longer than the previous models, but I honestly doubt it.
Of course they are doing a marvelous job at this these days, but there is still a greater chance of parts to overheat and break earlier, therefore. With the iMacs you always get Laptop components squeezed into a very small space. ( Under OS Mavericks we might see an even more reduced footprint. But under OS Mountain Lion you actually have a reduced Sample Footprint in Active / InActive RAM compared to loading the same setup under OS X 10.6.8. It simply loads fast, and streaming is improved during playback. Please keep in mind, using a SSD in a MacPro with OS X does not reduce the sample footprint that gets loaded into active and/or inactive RAM when you load a patch.

On a Windows PC the performance is usually better. I don't see a throughput of 500MB/sec or something like that, because when working with samples its more about small files and random reads which then leads to something between 160 - 300 MB/s on the MacPro with OS X. The loading times with this PCIe solution are ultra fast compared to those from HDD's in the Mac's normal HD bays. If you pimp up your 2008 MacPro - which is compatible with OS Mavericks - with such a PCI Card you can use it for the next years as a very powerful Slave computer with VEPRO5.

However, you have to install a Firmware Update for the SONNET PCI Card to get the full bandwith !!! If you run OS X 10.7.5 or higher you don't even have to install a driver. You simply attach the SSD's into the SONNET PCI Card, then install the PCI Cards into the PCI Slots. Using the Sonnet PCI Cards in your MacPro is very easy.
īut because of the Card's Size you can only put the "Sonnet Tempo SSD" Card into this Mac Modell, not the "Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro"-Card !!! Again I'm using here SAMSUNG 840PRO (512 GB) Modells. I don't see a throughput of 500MB/sec or something like that, because when working with samples its more about small files and random reads which then leads to something between 160 - 300 MB/s on the MacPro with OS X. Maybe with setting up the SSD's as a RAID the performance under OS X is slightly faster, but I doubt it.

I have the "Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro" with SAMSUNG 840PRO (512 GB) Modells installed ( for hosting EW's Hollywood Series ), in the exact same MacPro from 2008 you have.
