    Hello,

    Sorry for my english, I normally speak french.

    I use 4 hard disk in my Macpro station, Hd extrem card is juste under the hard disk.

    The temperature of the disks isn’t a problem for the card ?

    If I connect the Hd extrem card on the slot number 3, are the performances will be perfect like on the slot number 4 ?

    Thanks, and sorry again for my english

    Robin

    Select the second profile from the list of Autres profils PCI Express, ie:
