Is there anyone who knows where to by a ssd 512Gb for my Mac pro Late 2013 at a good price, of course?
I live in Italy.
Thanks
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
An Italian electronics store?
Or try MacSales.com They ship world wide.
Try eBay and similar. Make sure you get one for a Mac Pro. There are ones available that are for a MacBook Pro but work I the Mac Pro but are slower than the ones for the Mac Pro. The SSDs for the Mac Pro have a black heatsink while the MacBook Pro ones do not have a heatsink.
OWC/MacSales sell SSD but they are slower than Apple's SSDs.
Apple does not sell their SSDs to the public.
Finally I bought a 1TB PCIe SSD Flash Storage MZ-KPV1T00/0A6 665-1860L
Care to tell from whom you purchased it?
On Ebay, I suppose, but it has been bought from a my friend as a gift so I don't know exactly.
You can search on Ebay, of course.
One particular: it hasn't a heat sink, but seems to work fine.
Have you done a sped test and compared with the one that came with the Mac?
Some SSDs made for a MacBook work on a Mac Pro but they are significantly slower and do not have the heatsink
Sincerly I don't have a speed tester, but the Mac Pro 6.1 now seems to go faster.
Black Magic is available free from the Mac App Store,
If you report results make sure you says what tests you did.
The following compares OWCs SSD with Apple's
Sorry, I'm unable to find "Black Magic" on Italian Mac App Store: do you know another free speed tester and where to find it?
No, I do not know of any others
I can try on US Mac App Store, if you have the link.
You can only use a county's Store if you are located in the country (IP address and other info is made to check that) and your ID payment method is associated with that country.
I can search it on Google, if it is a free app.
Ok, I've found it an installed just now.
Let me test and than I'll show the screenshot just here.
Here the results: what do you think about?
Which "stress" (1-5 GB) did you use?
Then I will run it on my MP
