Good evening, I'm looking to buy one of this Mac Pro 5.1 from 2012 to use in a virtualization homelab and I would like to know if anyone has managed to use more than the memory reported by Apple, I imagine that according to them this machine supports up to 8 x 32GB... which would be 256 with a dual processor, with each 6-core processor of this generation individually supporting 288GB... so could it be viable to use 8 x 64GB to run Proxmox or Nutanix? thanks...
@spottedtango5 ай бұрын
sure, but in this usecase it would be hard to justify. unless you're getting it for free, a true blade or workstation from the first gen core series or it's xeon counterpart can be had much cheaper than a macpro 5,1 with better aftermarket support meanwhile using the same generation of hardware. For the same typical price you could also get newer, faster hardware in those form factors. possibly something from LGA2011 X99/E5-V3/4 or X299/LGA2066

I flashed moded 5 iPod minis and I would say get Samsung cards if you want the most storage. For a 256GB card, Samsung gives you 239GB shown in the iPod, SanDisk gives you 238GB, and non NAND flash manufacturer brands will likely only give you 233GB, including Lexar. That 5 more gigabytes are not that important to me, because the iPods cannot play or store losses(losses would be converted to mp3 when you sync it to the iPod). The best we could get, 320k MP3 files, are not likely gonna fill the full storage before hitting the 25000 sounds barrier.

It looked like the faceplate went on like a breeze without fitment issues like some of the ebay replacements. I'm looking to get a 5.5 gen here soon and the atomic Nebula style looks right up my alley. Was wondering how it has held up so far to wear and tear? Also another quick question, do you think it's better to get a fat back VS slim as a base for modding? Heard that the fat ones have more Ram. Nice video!
@spottedtango10 ай бұрын
Personally I run a clear protective outer-shell. Aftermarket faces tend to scratch pretty easy. I run a fat motherboard (thick back) in a slim case, so best of both worlds there. My faceplate is immaculate, but been cased it's whole life, so I'm sure that's why.

you might think that but exFAT didn't exist when most iPods were made. I guarantee your iPods are formatted fat 32. Going through these motions just ensures that you get a proper MBR sector so that the file system plays nicely. Some models and storage media play nicer than others, and I'm trying to be as general as possible for maximum success chance.

Had a custom job from him that was defective out of the box, screen went white when menu button was pressed. The faceplate also did not align correctly, and there was a plastic chunk under the faceplate screen area. I tried to RMA it, but he sent it right back in my box unopened. Return period exceeded. I am overseas (in american territory) therefore batteries can't be air mailed, they take the slow boat. The entire return period was just me waiting for delivery. I eventually opened it up to fix and here's what I found. -Display PCB was missing an insulating layer causing the whiteout issue. Major wtf, metal-metal contact with tarkan board -Wrong screws used on 30 pin fascia causing faceplate to be misaligned. From the bottom of an iphone 3g or something -Headphone jack assy missing one of the screw holes, broken off. Held on by one screw. Also the wrong version of a logic board.

The firmware version is correct when booting Mojave without opencore, and if you're planning on flashing your firmware: do not do so while booted through opencore!

@spottedtango Жыл бұрын
Afaik those are not much different from the rest of the line, barring the hand-dyed transparent faceplate. I have and am running an atomic faceplate as we speak. it's a solid product at a small premium over other aftermarket faceplates, the option is nice if the aesthetic appeals to you. Again, EOE is a retailer. Most of the products there can be obtained elsewhere, but I still shop there myself for the convenience of one-stop and one-ship to most people who build for others, it's very much worth the extra $20-50 to save 1-3? months of overseas. Plus you get a good warranty. Full disclosure, I actually moderate for EoE in their discord, for whatever bias that's worth. I also am not infallible, so make your own judgement.
