[Jeremy Garchow]

Holy smokes, 6GB/s.

Unreal.

And this:

But I think the OWC option is highest bang for the buck.

Holy smokes. 12 and 25 GB/s. What a world.

I have the new MacPro marketing slogan:

The New Mac Pro –

and Sonnet is offering the same NVMe PCIe solution. This is all great. This is what open architecture is all about.

I am just waiting to see official comments from Adobe, AVID, Maxon, and Blackmagic about their claims on the performance with the 2019 Mac Pro. From all the YouTube influencers, we already know that it’s great with FCP X.

…………….and who needs PCIe slots anymore, anyway …………. ☺ Sound familiar ?

If you can’t beat them, out work them…

This is awesome!
Gonna cancel the Promise 8TB Internal enclosure.
I hope the OWC is available soon.

Wonder what would happen with two of these 8TB striped together with SoftRaid… 16 TB of some crazy speeds!

this is exactly what OWC is recommending (since they now own SoftRaid).

This seems ideal for 8K full format workflow (for those crazy enough to insist on that), but it would work. And then someone will complain “hey – I got two of those Sonnet/OWC cards with 16TB of NVMe’s and I am getting stuttering playback on my GoPro footage”.

So the complaining will never stop.

LOL!

Yep, I think we both have been at this almost as long in years ????

Happy New Year everyone!
