We just received our new MacPro tower. We configured it with the 1TB SSD which is listed on the tech page as being two 512GB SSD drives. I opened it up and verified that there are in fact two SSD drives in there.
How do I get the computer to see them as two drives? I am running pro applications where I need the system drive separate from my project drive, that's why I ordered it this way.

Your Mac was delivered as specified, and is not defective in any way.
The boot drive is, by design, built from two modules, combined together into one, mainly for speed. You do not have the option of using them separately.
But you could certainly add other drives that have two separate SSD modules.

Thanks for the reply.
I was afraid you would say that.
I wasn't suggesting a defect, I just wanted to configure it how I need it to be configured. It's a shame that Apple designed this limitation into the machine given that this computer is supposed to be the epitome of user-configurable.
