SM951 blade ssd for Mac Pro 5.1 - AHCI or NVME

Hello

I recently updated my old 3.1 latest 5.1. I also bought a m2 lycom til pciE card and a Samsung SM951 ssd. HOWEVER, I am not able to see the ssd in the finder or disk utility. I bought the NVME version. I think maybe I should have ordered the AHCI version.

This will be my main drive. It must be initiated.

Thanks in advance.

RIL of this model doesn't support NVME, you will need to order a different goal: to solve this problem.

  • Questions new installation HD SSD for MacBook Pro

    I followed the online instructions how to install the SSD for my MacBook Pro. I then rebooted by Mac in recovery mode and formatted the drive in Mac OS extended (journaled). It was a little bit tricky message sometimes giving such as erasure of disk failures, but eventually it worked. I selected to install the OS on this HD. The image of the OS were first shown on OS X Lion, but my current OS is El Capitan. I just figured that he was installing the original operating system provided with the mac. The installation went well but then we he had finished wen timer back to 1 hour, 46 minutes. He made several times and after 6 hours, I decided to leave and start over. The second time after erasing HD and formatting again the OS that came was El Capitan for installation so I continued. This time, the installation has been completed and at the end says "OS could not be installed on my computer, reboot and try again." On the third attempt has received a similar message from the failed to install ' year error occurred during extraction of the files in the package "Essentials.pkg." " »

    Anyone has any idea why this doesn't work or suggestions please?

    About 2 months ago I reformatted my HD original as installed latest OS El Capitan as the mac has been slow. Does have a report with questions I get on doing the same thing with another HD?

    What model of MacBook Pro?

    Which SSD model?

    You have another Mac?

    Possible causes:

    -Incompatibility of your Mac with this specific SSD. Recently, some users have reported what appears to be these incompatibilities

    -You damaged the cable flex between the drive and the system board.  It is a common problem and causes intermittent problems initially and if it's even worse the Mac will see is even more disk

    -You have an another hardware problem as RAM bad or other component.

    I'd do it

    -Run Apple Hardware Test

    Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

    -Connect an external drive and install OSX on this disc and boot from this facility and see if you have any problems

    -If you have another Mac download a compatible OS x Installer for the Mac App Store and create a USB bootable using device

    and install OSX on the SSD.

  • Upgrade to SSD for MacBook Pro 13 "(2011)

    I want to upgrade to a hard drive SSD for my notebook Early 2011 MacBook Pro.

    What are the specifications of the SSD looking?

    Is that the kind of 2.5 "(7mm)?"  I was looking at the card SanDisk Ultra II or similar model.

    What is the process or the workflow to change SSD?  (he just plug or do I need a prop?)

    I backed up my current HARD drive for Time Machine on a G-Drive external hard drive.  Can I restore my backup for the SSD of Time Machine, or are there additional steps?

    Thank you in advance.

    Any SSD with a box 2.5 "will be compatible with your MBP.  I recommend OWC SSD or critical based on my experience and other participants of CSA veterans.

    Installing the SSD is the same as for a traditional HARD drive.  Watch this video:

    https://eShop.MacSales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_early11_hd/

    You must format the SSD in Mac OS extended (journaled) disk utility.  You can use Time Machine to restore your data on the SSD.

  • Silent, quick config RAID for Mac Pro DAW

    I'm looking for ideas for storage configuration for my Mac Pro ' 09. This is the heart of a campus radio station / recording studio. The machine is a beast, and it serves my purposes very well. That said, the storage on board certainly needs an upgrade. Recently, I ran DriveDx to check the health of disks, and several of them are almost 30,000 hours. Right now, we lack a RAID 0 2 x WD RE3 750 GB (circa 2009) and 2 x Seagate 750Go (to 2008). Disks run without problem, but they are relatively slow and old (max ~100MB/s WD; ~75MB/s Seagate). In addition, I'm really not comfortable running a raid interlaced offshore of different styles of hard drives.

    I am looking to buy four new disks. Here's my wish list:

    Minimum of 1 TB of capacity

    Optimized RAID

    Reliable

    Quiet

    Relatively fast

    Not horribly expensive

    Does anyone have advice? I've been looking around for a while, but it has been difficult to find a good combination of these features. Or, if you have any other ideas I'm open to that as well. Thank you!

  • Commitment to Apple for Mac Pro line?

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), which gave me eight years of service. Good enough. I hope that press another year out of it, put my money and then upgrade to a new Mac. My (non-Apple) local service guy tried to talk to me in an iMac and pointed out that the current Mac Pro 1) is probably overkill for 99% of what I do (photography) and 2) do has not been updated by Apple since 2013. It is #2 that concerns me the most. What is the general consensus on the commitment Appleʻs to line up of range Mac Pro?

    A top of the line iMac is a very powerful computer.

    4 GHz quad core i7, 32 GB RAM, 4 GB graphics, SSD 1 TB or 3 TB Fusion by car, 5K display, a 5K or two external displays 4K, 2 ports Thunderbolt.

    The only benefits of the Mac Pro are:

    Multiple cores CPU (low speed) and a second graphics card, which will be useful if you do a lot of video rendering.

    The Thunderbolt ports more, displays more (low resolution) and a lot of simultaneous disk transfers.

    I agree that the Mac Pro is excessive.  Regarding Mac Pro upgrades, until Intel releases significantly better class server CPU and 3 stroke, it is not much Mac Pro, upgrade for Apple to do.  They do not sell enough to make small annual updates is worth.

  • Vs CPU Ram graphic card upgrade for Mac pro performance?

    Just after the crossroads to aboard the cloud to Adobe and seeks help on CPU Ram vs graphics card GPU.

    Material:

    • MAC Pro (early 2009) 4.1 2.26 Ghzdual core 8, 23 grams (5 x 4 g sticks and sticks of 3 x 1 G), 4 x 1 TB 7200 RPM int. HD (1 scratch drive), (no windows don't things here)
    • Graphics card Ge Force GT120 Machine has 64-bit capability, but normally starts in 32- bit due to old still used 32-bit apps.
    • Watch CS6 AE activity monitor uses all 16 son, works in 64 bitsand seizes about 10 Gig of ram to operate in.

    Software:

    • Running OS x 10.6.8. (Snow leopard) with all updates.
    • All major video applications: creative cloud (also have studio FCP 3 installed but just move to Adobe now on video works)

    I really like this AE & body use all threads, made in the background (which results in NO crashes (so far)) because my old 120 GT video card apparently is more stifling that it worked in FX in FCP 7 & 4 Motion.

    1. Q - can someone point me in the direction of how Adobe got the device to use all the cores and threads and run it in 64-bit, but starts in 32 bit?

    In terms of performance, (rendered in particular) I know I should go to the Apple/ATI 5870 graphics card, but as a veterinarian of fixed-income securities disabled, $450 is hard to find. I evaluated cards flashes, including those of macvidcards on ebay, but for used cards which are flashed, it gives me pause, especially when they are about the same price as the new price of 5870.

    So I am struggling with trying to figure out that the best shot for the less $$$, where the issue of the title.

    1. Is it more effective for video FX works to add CPU ram or (gulp) to upgrade the video card to 5870 card?

    Example: I can add sticks of 3 x 4 G in place and place existing 3 x 1 G sticks of ram for less than $200 CPU. A new 5870 card is $ 450 Apple. Approach that annoys me that most make speed plant put VFX work in AE CS6 or P Pro CS6?

    Sorry, I'm more than a little fuzzy on this, but hoping a kind soul will lead the way.

    For After Effects, more RAM is better. For Premiere Pro, an improved GPU is more important. In addition, you might consider spending money even on an SSD, which is beneficial for both (for caches).

  • Unable to connect more then 2 monitors for Mac Pro end of 2013

    I was wondering if anyone had this problem and found a solution.

    The Mac pro (end 2013) model that I have would not work with 3 or more screens, little matter what I do. Even if him are all connected to separate buses. Only 2 would work at any given time. When I cut the work one, one nonfunctional lights.

    They are related:

    Computer-> Thunderbolt to HDMI-> monitor

    Computer-> Thunderbolt to HDMI-> monitor

    Computer-> monitor-> HDMI/DVI

    Setting up and connecting cable is not a problem here, because I tried a lot of different ways to connect with different types of monitors.

    Just replaced a new video card and the problem still there.

    am I missing, or hurt?

    any idea is aprisiated!

    created the USB (I used a disk portable 1 TB, I bought recently), downloaded software and then prompted me to make the partition.

    subsequently handed over running and starts the installation. window has installed fine and started, the boot camp installation window pops up and I click Next.

    now, he will be always stuck to the point trying to install realtek audio.

    no progress, no error report. I had to close the installation later, may not close properly due, try force end it.

    have tried mnay times, tried windows 10 business and education. they are all stuck at the same point
