I really respect your knowledge and thank you for sharing 🙏

you're welcome Friar

[@arielwindler9962]

great video as usual! I like that you test everything before you give us results. I can not use it and I have no need at that kind of solution but I still enjoy your videos so why not watch it :)

[@morgonaut]

thank you Ariel for nice comment. I do my best to deliver great content, so of course I had to spend lot of time on testing everything before doing any video

[@ReneRivasProductions_]

Thanks for the info! Just purchased two of these cards for my Mac Pro 2019. Will be using one drive to host my video project RED raw files, and the second for scratch disk. Excited to edit some projects with this type of extreme speed and latitude.

[@morgonaut]

you're welcome Rene. You will not regret. I use this card daily for my 6K video production over 10G network from my file server. I could not be happier about that. And I have since this video very good relationship with Sonnet so I will review even more products in future for you. I like Sonnet few decades, I had even their accelerators for PowerPC :)

[@benshirleymusic]

Thank you for this video. Looking to get this exact card delivered in the next few days installing in my 2019 Mac Pro. Wanted to ask: 1. I do music production (film composer/concert composer) I'm going to use this card with 8TB of storage for my samples used in Kontakt etc... What chunk size do you recommend? 2. Why Mac OS Extended (Journaled) over APFS? I see how you had issues BUT...if APFS worked. Thoughts? Thanks again for these awesome videos.

[@morgonaut]

@benshirleymusic - each plugin has different format of samples. So to determine what chunk size you need simply look at your current storage and size of your files

[@benshirleymusic]

Thanks!@@morgonaut

It's 2021, and I have just gotten my first RAID set ups, no where near these speeds you have, but I'm happy though, got them on eBay for super cheap. I just got an OWC Thunderbay 4 Mini with 2 x 1TB SATA SSD for my photography, and an OWC Thunderbay 4 with 4 x 1TB 3.5" HDD for my Time Machine backup. One day when SSDs drop more in price I will have a NVMe RAID setup, and definitely upgrade my HDD's to SSD's.

Another great video 😘

[@morgonaut]

Thank you! 🤗

[@LeeBlaske]

Thanks for making this video! Could a person put more than one of these cards in a 2019 or 2023 Mac Pro, or is there some limitation? I think the latest Mac Pro has two x16 slots.

[@morgonaut]

@LeeBlaske - best thanks to me would be if you share my videos, that would help me in return to produce more quality content for you for free. No there is no limitation, you can put as many cards in as you want. And it doesn't have to be connected only to x16 slot. Even in x8 slot it will give you speeds you will probably never need

[@morgonaut]

you can always connect external displays to this. BTW that's how I plan it to use. Most of the time as a desktop for office work and occasionally I will unplug all and take it to bed etc.

[@paynsmasher]

@@morgonaut yeah but unfortunatly most of my audio plugins aren't working at all due to wrong rosetta translation so it's not yet the right time for me I just did the researchs.. :( I must wait -_-

[@morgonaut]

ok but that's not problem of apple or apple hardware, it's problem those developers were lazy and did not do their homework despite they had so much time for it

[@hyperthreat]

I just got a m2 will this work as well in a pcie 4 16x slot?

[@a_mouse6858]

What is the purpose of the very long PC board extending beyond the end of the heat sink? Can this just be cut off? (So it does not block airflow of blower-style graphics cards in slot 1).

[@morgonaut]

@a_mouse6858 - it's standard length for example to fit into the grooves in2019 Mac Pro. But Sonnet makes also much shorter version of this card

[@reniarlegieps]

Great informative video. I upgraded as you recommended, but initially only with 2 SSDs. Now I want to complete my sonnet card with 2 additional SSDs. How can I add these additional ones in MacOS to my existing 4TB Raid 0 to increase it to an 8TB Raid0?

[@morgonaut]

you have to rebuild the array from the ground :) If you would run server with ZFS you could just add those 2 new drivers to existing setup, but macOS is not running ZFS :)

[@danielagallardo]

Hi Theresa, what computer would you recommend for something decent to work with for video editing and animation? before we had MacBooks pro mid-2012 and we bought an MSI Stealth GS66 12UGS-002XES - Laptop 15.6" FHD 360Hz (Intel Core i7-12700H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 3070Ti-8GB with windows 11) and it was terrible; we did not even manage to edit a video, we only worked with photoshop, and while editing a photo, the computer hung after a glitch and went to black; we turned it off and tried again. Nothing, it happened again and again, and we have returned it. Now I do not know which computer to choose, we need something that works immediately and urgently. I know you've got your VIP services 1 to 1, but we have nothing to fix at home. How could we get your assistance to get the right laptop?

[@morgonaut]

@Daniela Gallardo - what would be best for your specific use case can't say, I'm still just a human and still can't read mind :) So I would recommend to discuss all details during let's say 1 hour video meeting which you can book on my website www.morgonaut.cloud/get-help/

[@tekis0]

I'm a professional audio engineer/editor. I have a 2009 Mac Pro with an upgraded cpu and 64 gig of ram. I want a 2019 Mac Pro, but am wondering about if a new Mac Pro will be coming out. Apple is taking too long.

[@morgonaut]

@tekis0 - there will be always something new coming, so you should enjoy what options you have NOW. I work primarily on 2019 Mac Pro, it does everything I need

[@whittymusic]

i want to use it with mac studio. How do I do that??

You overclock a Hackintosh and OMG your cool computer lab is about to blow up. 😮 Oh no! You can only grab one card M.2 card. Would it be the Sonnet or OWC? 🙂

[@morgonaut]

of course it would be this Sonnet, that's why I bought several of these as I said. OWC is slower and have throtling issues

[@MartijnH3b]

Is this card also compatible with your 2019 14 core Imac pro killer hackintosh build? (oh and nice music by the way ;-)

[@morgonaut]

[@ArielBrener]

Thanks dear Mogonout. How can know what is the best chunk size of my raid 0? Is it a simple matter of setting the raid and doing blackmagic speedtest? Or is there something else?

[@morgonaut]

as I said in this video you have to do your own tests what chunk size is best for your specific workload

[@ArielBrener]

@@morgonaut I heard you loud and clear but I want to know how to preform the test?

[@morgonaut]

there is no general BEST. As I said in this video best for me will not be best for you, it depends on YOUR files, not mine. That's why you have to do your own tests, which chunk size is best for your use case. I also had to spend the time and rebuild my array lot of times with different settings to find out the one which works FOR ME only based on my files and my workflow.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Have the OCZ 4M.2 in 2010 Mac Pro 5.1. Software raid seems no faster then a single M.2 drive, maybe even a little slower. Does this card use Hardware Raid ?

[@morgonaut]

HW RAID made sense in the past, software RAID is more flexible and can be even faster. This card has HW PCIe switch so it can run in any computer even without bifurcation.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@morgonaut Chasing Raid 0 speed, to capture Uncompressed Raw via AJA Kona4, 1200Mbs from the OCZ card gets less then half the framerate, with dropped frames. Hoping hardware will be faster, but not sure which slot to fit to, gpu is x16, kona is x8.

[@morgonaut]

@PiDsMedia - well I can't obviously judge your setup when I did not see it nor configured :)

[@andreasthommen9703]

As usual great Video! What is the benefit of the Silent Version? I saw price is same like previous. Can anybody tell me that?

[@morgonaut]

??? it's clear - because it has no fan so it's SILENT

[@andreasthommen9703]

ok, I just was curious if there is any other benefit or difference. thanks anyway!

[@morgonaut]

when the price is the same as previous model then it's clear choice to get the new one :)

[@profdraper]

FWIW, I use the model with fan & which is also 'silent' (enough - need to push your ear onto the mac chassis to hear anything & the mac fans are louder than the Sonnet). I prefer this route exactly because of the cooling and thermals for my 4x samsung EVO 970s setup as RAID O for fast caching in Resolve Studio & FCPX. I also prefer the build & casing of the fan version.

[@morgonaut]

fan = point of failure. And as you could see all my disks stay exactly at 35 degrees of Celsius without any fan = no reason to go for old version with fan

[@joeramos2654]

how about 5.1 with 3.46 dual cpus 2009 or 2010 models for music production

[@morgonaut]

?? what's the actual question??

[@magicmanj32]

Can you use this in say a proxmox server and pass thru individual ssds to virtual machines??

[@morgonaut]

you can use it as I say in this video in any computer with PCIe x16 slot. I did not test the exact way of configuring you want, I have it in my high performance ZFS file server for ZFS stripe insane array

But will this work in a MacPro 2010 5.1, running Mojave? This video is a year old, and you actually added the card to one of the new MacPros, not the old Cheesegraters. Would love to be able to use this in an old cheesegrater.
