![]() That's the one I used and it works for the Mac. The seller also sends a small install wizard that is sent separately via email. I looked at more options and there were some manufacturers who offered PCI cards for USB 3.0 for well over $100,-?!! Forget it- I paid €5,- for such a card for my PC!īut these days you can always turn to the Chinese for an affordable solution! For around €20,- this seller offers a PCI-card that added that desired USB 3.0 functionality to my Mac Pro! It's a 2-port card that comes with a mini-CD with software. It supports LaCie products exclusively?! Worthless. And they did- but with a bunch of small print. ![]() LaCie has always made PCI cards etc for the Mac and I was sure they would have such a device. So I started looking towards third party solutions. Stop engaging in these arrogant, unfriendly and frustrating behaviours, Apple!!) So why not USB 3.0? (it is this kind of exclusive marketing that really turns me off and away from big companies. It is an annoying strategy -and not very consistent- because USB 2.0, eSata and firewire all work fine on the Mac. Apple has not embraced USB 3.0, it appeared, because it is geared towards its own thunderbolt technology. ![]() I've been looking for a USB 3.0 solution for my Mac Pro and to my dismay and great surprise, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
