That's pretty impressive, you got me beat. Best I could do would be 266MB/s in theory over 64bit PCI 33mhz.

I'll have to get one of your setups and see if I can make it bootable.

What was the max size they sold AHCI blades in?

They quit making them in favor of NVMe pretty early on didn't they?

1 TB AFAIK.

I take it they can be used in those 4x M.2 PCI-E carrier cards with the PCI-E switch chip?

joevt · Jun 10, 2024

Should be able to beat the PCIe gen 1 x4 limit of Quad G5 Mac with a PCIe bridge like the one used in the Netstor NA255A. It should allow up to PCIe gen 1 x16 speed.

I don't have an AHCI NVMe to test that. Does Linux for Quad G5 Mac have NVMe driver? There was a NVMe driver made for Mac but it wasn't open source and was made for Sierra or later. The NVMe website has documentation and sample code so anyone could recreate a driver for Mac OS X.

The Netsor NA255A can connect to non-PCIe Macs using a PCI to PCIe bridge, but the best such bridge is limited to PCIe gen 1 x4 and usually only the PCIe gen 1 x1 bridges can be found and those are usually limited to 32 bit 33MHz. Review the "PCI Adapters" and "PCI Speeds" sections at

Yes, it should work with any of the latest kernels.

I booted into Mac OS X 10.4.11 and did some OpenMark benchmarks (see attached). A Quad G5 has score 9331 for 1920x1080 while the B&W G4 has a score of 7372 and the Radeon 9200 is 1179.

I'm assuming you are using the StarTech 64bit PCI-X to PCI-E bridge?

For me, 10.4.11 flashed R580+ [Radeon X1950 XT], 66MHz mode in the PCI to PCI-E Bridge PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0GHz: Score 11751 @1920x1080.

PCI-X 100MHz slot.

What CPU is in the B&W?

No, I have a Startech 32-bit PCI to PCIe bridge. The StarTech PCI-X to PCIe bridge is hard to get and expensive.
My Blue & White G3 has a Sonnet 1GHz G4 (66 MHz bus speed instead of 100MHz).
