Hi guys,
I bought a Early 2008 Mac Pro.
I'm thinking about disk upgrade, to improve its performance. First i thought about Apricorn velocity x2 with a SSD mounted on it.
Then i saw this
Cavalry PCIe MLC SSD (256GB)

Is this pcie ssd supported by the motherboard?
Could i also boot from this?
Thank you
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I have not seen LSI mentioned and would avoid that one

Is the state of the art in SSD
Booting is low on priority to me, even a good SSD on native SATA II drive bay bus will help immensely.
PCIe is helpful when it comes to data, scratch, graphic libraries.
In general, booting from PCIe SSDs has been trouble-prone. You should not count on booting from PCIe-mounted SSD.
As the hatter says the speed increment just by putting an SSD in a drive bay provides an enormous overall speed boost, even if the top speed is clipped slightly by the SATA Bus speed. It is well worth doing it that way.
