#MID 2010 MAC PRO SSD PRO#
If you want to use a microphone with the Mac Pro you'll either need an amp or a USB mic, as the line-in port is not amplified and won't work. Apple continues to only offer a line in and not a mic-in on its "Pro" models. That's three USB 2.0 ports, two FireWire 800, optical audio out and in, line in, speaker out, and two GigE ports. The latter is a shame given the expected shelf life of a high end computer.ÄŖround back the port layout is unchanged. Like the previous Mac Pro there are no FireWire 400 ports and Apple has yet to embrace USB 3.0. Moving back outside, on the front we still have two USB 2.0 and two FireWire 800 ports. Given that Iāve done a lot of Mac Pro video card swapping over the past few days Iām probably more sensitive to this than most people, but thereās no harm in seeking perfection. Thumbscrews are obviously preferable to regular screws, but Iād rather have something that just snaps or slides into place. The lower retention bracket works quite well, itās the thumbscrews that hold the top of the cards in place that are bothersome. The only change Iād recommend is implementing a simpler PCIe retention system. buying them from Apple), this is at least a step in the right direction. While I would've preferred something in-box for all users (since I still recommend going your own route for SSDs vs.
#MID 2010 MAC PRO SSD UPGRADE#
If you order an Apple SSD, either as an upgrade kit or with your Westmere Mac Pro you'll get a 2.5" adapter for the 3.5" drive sled. One thing I asked for in the Nehalem Mac Pro review was support for 2.5" drives, which Apple somewhat delivered with Westmere. You still have the same slide out CPU/memory tray and the four removable SATA drive sleds from the Nehalem and Core 2 models. Apple has made revisions to the motherboard so this isn't just a chip upgrade for the Nehalem Mac Pro, but other than that the systems look the same.
Internally the Westmere model is identical to its predecessor. The Mac Pro chassis is still very well compartmentalized and as a result allows for easy upgrades. You could argue that the design works and thus doesnāt need to be updated and Iād tend to agree with you. I left the Core 2 Duo Mac Pro out of the shot because it looks identical to the Nehalem/Westmere models.
We got minor improvements inside but externally there haven't been any major changes since the Power Mac G5 days:Ĭan you spot the difference? Going from left to right we have the Westmere Mac Pro (2010), Power Mac G5 and Nehalem Mac Pro (2009). The Mac Pro's styling hasn't changed in years.
