Bought a cheap sata III card (asmedia $12) and connected it with a SSD, it did wonders to my macpro3,1.
I realise that the SSD was not operating at its full potential but the result was impressive.
I'm not a professional video guy, I do a little bit of everything, nothing heavy, I just want to upgrade and take advantage of sata III.
I read an article about connecting the HDD's to sata III with a mini sas cable from a raid card (unbootable). That was 12 months ago and I recently contacted them to see if things had changed and if bootable cards were available, they didn't know.
I would like everything to be internal if at all possible.
What I would like to do is have bootable sata III on the HDD's.
It doesn't worry me if the card is raid or not.
Price is a concern but I'm told you pay for what you get!
Anyone help
