![]() (Test size = 4GB, Chunk size = 256M, Iterations = 5) We used the DiskTester 2.0 "area test" to measure the transfer speed when the volume was empty and at filled to 90% capacity. MaxUpgrades calls the kit the "SAS/SATA Backplane Attachment." (See bottom of this article for more info and photos.) ![]() We used it to test three different versions of HighPoint RocketRAID SAS and/or SATA host adapter with both SSDs and SAS HDDs mounted in the internal Mac Pro Nehalem drive bays. MaxUpgrades has come up with a "bypass" solution that makes it possible to connect third party internal RAID adapters to the internal drive bays. Cool technology but it effectively locked out the use of third party SAS and SATA host adapters with internal mini-SAS or SATA ports - until now. The 2009 Apple Pro RAID card for the Nehalem Mac Pro is ingeniously designed to trigger takeover of the four internal drive bays without the use of a mini-SAS cable connection.
