how to upgrade my 2009 Mac Pro and install a PCIe Sata card
Hi I have the 2009 4,1 Mac Pro and I want to upgrade it.
My old main drive is on it's last legs just like me, I'm a senior citizen and figure if I'm going to do it now is the time.
It seems a bit daunting to me although I've changed out memory, upgraded my video card and installed two SSD sata drives. I've also installed Bootcamp and play BF4 on Windows.
The actual mechanical installation I'm ok with, it's the choices I have to make that is giving me pause.
I've read the write up on the OWC site and I've decided to go with a 1 Tb SSD.
I've also read where the Apple Samsung blades are faster but have no idea which ones will work with my Mac Pro and which ones will not so I'm hesitant about ordering one on ebay without some reassurance that I'm not throwing my money away.
There may be other options other than OWC as I've read that the SSD's that they use have not been as reliable as they should be.
So I'm appealing to younger and smarter minds to give me some options and guidance.
Thank you
