The video cards appear to be at least swappable in terms of what Apple offers.
#Price of 1tb apple oem ssd for mac pro 2013 upgrade
We will be doing testing on this upgrade path for sure though. I was very surprised to see those 320 pin connectors and ribbon cables instead of card edge connectors all around.Īs a disclaimer – any change out of stock components is likely to be warranty voiding if careful attention to original power draw/wattage specs are not observed. Thanks for the great first look inside this machine. What do we have here? I assume there are three Intel DSL5520 Thunderbolt 2 controllers on there, but any idea where they’re pulling the PCIe lanes from? Is there a PLX PCIe switch anywhere in the mix?
Who got the design win? Did Apple go with Fresco Logic? And how many controllers did they use? Is there a separate one for each port? How about the NICs? I believe Apple generally uses Intel NICs on the Mac Pros and Broadcom for the consumer Macs. This is the first Mac with a third party USB 3.0 controller. What controllers and type of NAND are they using? Does each board have it’s own controller? Is this basically 2 SSDs in RAID 0 at the Core Storage level? Does this mean that 2 TB options can be created using two 1 TB modules, or are they using the two modules in a RAID 1 like setup?Īlso, I’d love to see the I/O board. Although you mentioned that there’s not much to tear down about the SSD, it sure looks like it’s just a pair of the proprietary PCIe based modules that we’ve seen in other 2013 Macs.
