Allegro USB-C 4-port PCIe Card [Thunderbolt compatible]

Over the past few years I have completely customised my beloved old Mac Pro Tower by adding a faster CPU, more RAM, a PCI SSD and this little beauty from Sonnet. To be condemned to USB 2 ports in this day and age is pure torture. Luckily the good people at Sonnet have come to the rescue with this 4-port USB 3.1 gen2 PCIe card. Installing it was literally plug and play. Now I can attach any modern, high-speed, peripherals like an external USB-C (3.1 gen2) M.2 SSD drive and get very decent speeds. The screen grabs below are from a Sabrent 1TB M.2 NVMe inside a Sabrent enclosure. This PCIe card by Sonnet has completely transformed my computer's abilities. Very impressed.

Great. Has given my Mac Pro 5.1 a new lease of life. Installed with zero problems, no drivers and no extra power cables to hook up. The whole process took about 3 minutes.

Now purchased my third card as the previous two failed; the first within a week, the second in 49 weeks. Two of the four ports fail to communicate or recognise a USB device when inserted. When working the card works great on my MacPro.

Excellent product. Just plugged it into my Mac and it just works. No drivers needed.

You want a working third party expansion for Mac? Spend a bit more once, go for Sonnet products.

im Mac Pro 2019. Die Beschreibung des Herstellers trifft zu 100% zu. Bitte unbedingt die angegebenen Steckermaße berücksichtigen, sonst geht/gehen der/die USB-C-Stecker nicht ganz in die Buchse. Funktioniert bei mir dennoch fehlerfrei.

Solid card. A bit pricy as opposed to others but flawless in a Mac Pro 2019. 4 ports but really dual lane (dual bus) as it’s spitting out 10 MB/s twice, so total of 20 MB/s. You will not get 4 x 10MB/s, but you will however get 2 x full 10 MB/s.

A very easy installation in the PCIe slot upon installing in a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 dual 3.46GHz Intel 6-core. The quality is excellent with its functionality and connectivity recognizable upon starting up the computer and no driver support needed because it’s not required if the Mac is operating macOS 10.13 High Sierra or above. A little pricey for its value, but the overall design is well built and sturdy.

Vraiment Plug en Play. Aucuns drivers à installer. Reconnu dès le premier démarrage.Installé sur un hackinstosh AMD Ryzen. (SMBios MacPro 2019) Fonctionne à merveille sous Big Sur et Monterey. J'ai branché notamment deux adapteurs USBC / Ethernet reconnus immédiatement et évidemment des SSD USB qui fonctionnement à pleine vitesse.

Montata su mac pro 5.1 12 core, funziona senza alcun problema. Velocissima e molto stabile. Sonnet ancora una volta non delude.
