[Tim Wilson]

For anyone who missed it, here’s the press release.

Their stuff generally supports both Mac and Windows, which you can see in the FAQs…but yes, some more information about specific configs would be interesting….

the spec sheet does not show the performance on an Apple Macintosh computer in any configuration. We would like to know the performance with the 12g connection on a Mac computer.

Thanks –

Disks ?

Raid 5 or 6 ?

Why not a 12Gig HBA ?

Cheers

Simon,

Sorry, putting information up as I have it.

Test was done with SATA 4TB drives, in RAID 5. Using a 12G card on an older Mac Pro doesn’t make much sense as the older machines don’t utilize PCIe3 expansion slots, like the HPZ 8000 series machines do, in that scenario.

You will definitely achieve more than 1500MB/s with the 12G card.
