MacPro 2008 dual quad core 2.8Ghz.

HI All


my first post to this forum in 7 years of owning my mac. I recently upgraded the Boot disk to a PCIe SSD and cloned my previous HD drive to it. Once completed I set the boot to the SSD and restarted it. Once completed I added a PCIe USB3 card and attached an external SSD (did this to give me a better throughput than the internal caddy can offer). This external SSD houses my projects and audio / WAV files for my projects.


Since this upgrade to what has been a fantastic MAC my bluetooth mouse has become very sluggish which is really starting to annoy me. I have re-installed it etc and searched online for an answer but unable to find someone that has had the same issue.


Can anyone please help me before I re-enable my old HD disk as the boot drive.


Regards

I had a feeling it might be the USB interface from Broadcom which the bluetooth uses, and somehow the connection being interfered with. Im wondering is there a way to use external bluetooth connected to the USB3 card therefore bypassing the old bluetooth and giving my a much better connection through the new card?


in the meantime as a work round I have reverted to 'hard wired' usb connected HP mouse as PC World no longer supply the old style mouse.
