Hi, Could someone help confirm that this configuration I have planned would work in a MacPro 5.1 2@2.66 12 core w/ OSX 10.6.8. and the ICY DOCK 5.25" Back plane fit LxWxH
We are mostly doing large PS .PSB files 2GB+ and Cinema4D renderings
Run OSX in 1 Samsung 840Pro SSD & 3 SSD as a Work Area (What would be the possible speed results 3xSSD speed = 3x540 MB/s Read? 3x520 MB/s Write??)
Areca ARC-1223-8I (Would we need to update the firmware to boot EFI?? and is that easy? Is this a reliable card or do we need more memory on the card? ie. better card )
ICY DOCK 5.25" Back plane
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817994147 (I think this would fit in the lower 5.25" bay? would jumping the power off the one extra SATA be able to power 4x SSD's?)
We want to update the cpu eventually to 2@3.46 & the GPU but $ that will need to wait.
Thanks for any help and all the great reading!
