Mac Pro 2006 and 2007 have a SATA II 3.0 Gb/sec. (300 MB/sec.) controller. Throughput with my SSD RAID 0 is 800 MB/sec. Total via all devices plugged into the 4 controllers in the system. Most SSDs bench out at 240-250 MB/s for single SSDs on Mac Pro 1,1 or 2,1. The Mac Pro is a series of workstations and servers for professionals designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Inc. The Mac Pro, in most configurations and in terms of speed and performance, is the most powerful computer that Apple offers. It is one of four desktop computers in the current Macintosh lineup, sitting above the consumer Mac Mini and iMac, and alongside the all-in-one. The SSD7101A-1 and SSD7120 represent the easiest and quickest way to add blazing fast NVMe storage to Mac Pro 2019 platforms. The SSD7100 series are PCIe 3.0 x16 RAID controller card that can be easily installed into any of the Mac Pro’s PCIe x16 slots, and can directly host up to 4 M.2 or U.2 NVMe SSD’s. We do also provide hardware RAID controllers for the Mac Pro 5,1 at Create Pro. Complete with on board battery and controller for extra security. Follow @createpro Tweet. 24th February 2015.

HighPoint launches the SSD7204 - the industry's best cost/performance 4-slot NVMe RAID storage. The SSD7204 is ideal for media applications that require high-speed NVMe silent working environments and up to 16 TB high-performance storage that can be easily installed into any industry standard PCIe 3.0/4.0 x8 or x16 slot.
The dedicated PCIe 3.0 bandwidth can assign up to 4 lanes per NVMe SSD, and delivers over 7000 MB/s of transfer performance, and can support RAID 0, 1, 1/0 and single disk configurations. Comprehensive device driver support and installation guides are available for all major operating system platforms including Windows 10 and Server 2019, macOS 10.15 Catalina, and leading Linux distributions.Third-Gen NVMe RAID Architecture
Our third-generation NVMe architecture utilizes a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface to ensure broad compatibility with a wide range of hardware platforms; the SSD7204 can be easily installed into any industry standard PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 x8 or x16 slot. The full-length black-anodized heat sink provides superior heat dissipation for the hosted SSD's and critical controller components. This unique, fan-less design allows for completely silent operation - ideal for applications that require distraction free work environments.
Ideal for Distraction Free Working Environments
Zero-noise environments are of critical importance for many media professionals. Minimizing distraction during prolonged editing sessions can dramatically improve productivity. The SSD7204's unique fan-less cooling system combined with NVMe storage media allows for completely silent operation. When installed into a well ventilated chassis, such as a 2019 Mac Pro, the SSD7204's full-length heat sink proved more than capable of dissipating waste hear from both the NVMe SSD's and controller chipset components.
Superior Compatibility
The third generation SSD7204 was designed for easy integration into commercially available desktops, workstations, and servers using off-the-shelf M.2 SSD's. It can be easily installed into any industry standard PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot, and deliver maximum performance with only eight dedicated lanes.
As with all members of the SSD7000 family, the SSD7204 has been extensively tested with a wide range of commercially available NVMe drives from all major manufacturers of any M.2 form factor (2242, 2260, 2280, 22110), including MLC, TLC & QLC models, in a variety of hardware environments.
Robust Linux Support
A dedicated team of engineers proactively monitors and updates support for all major Linux distributions to ensure the SSD7204 is compatible with the latest releases of CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian.
Our innovative Auto-Compile feature was designed to streamline Linux installation and upgrade procedures, and eliminates the need for user intervention. Auto Compile is now embedded directly into our open-source driver packages. In addition, each driver release is accompanied by a comprehensive Installation Guide, which includes step-by-step setup walkthroughs, handy troubleshooting tips, and Technical Support resources.
Comprehensive RAID Management - Your Choice - Graphical or Text-only interfaces
When it comes to maintaining critical storage configurations, each customer has specific needs and preferences. Both management interfaces share universal layouts across all major operating systems, and can be administered locally or remotely via an internet connection. The Web RAID Management Interface (WebGUI) is a simple, intuitive web-based management tool and is ideal for customers who are new to RAID technology. The CLI (command line interface) is a powerful, text-only management interface designed for advanced users and professional administrators. Comprehensive user guides are available for both interfaces are available from the SSD7204's Software Updates webpage.
Pricing and Availability
The SSD7204 will become available in Early June 2020, from our North American Retail and Distribution channels.
SSD7202 MSRP - $299.

Raid Controller Cards
Bummer, I was hoping this would be the new model to replace the SSD7103 nad upgrade it to PCIe 4.0x16...currently I have Highpoint's SSD7103 PCIe 3.0x16 Hardware RAID m.2 adapter with 4x HP EX950's (2TB) in RAID 1 acting as the top tier in my NAS/Server and I couldn't be happier. The SSD7103 is one of the only m.2 adapters that has hardware level RAID 0/1/10. They make excellent products.
