OWC Mount Pro SSD Bundle for Mac Pro 2009-2012, 2.0TB 2.5" Mercury Electra 3G Solid State Drive 5 Piece Toolkit

I bought this to pick up the tempo on my 2009 Mac Pro and see if I could get another year or so out of it. It is a fast machine, but the disk is slow. I put this into the computer in about 10 mins and then another hour or so to do a clean install of El Capitan on the SSD and now the OS is peppy again. I left the user files on the old disk and changed the user ID and home directory in the advanced settings. Works a charm, barely a skipped beat and I don't see the spinning pizza wheel as often!

Perfect for upgrading to SSD. Keep in mind, mac pro 2009 still is an older SSD speed, so you'll get effective 250 mbs rw ish, no matter how awesome an SSD you get. For real speeds with mac pro 2009-2012, get a Samsun 970 m.2 NVME drive, and a PCIe card to mount it (cheap to do), and you'll get 1300 ish speeds.But still, with all those SSD slots and the cheap cost of SSDs now, no reason to stick with HDD anymore.

This product is well made, tools supplied for installation and screws supplied. I would have liked to have the piece use the same fittings as in my MAC, screws that use rubber to insulate against vibrations. I am nit picking but I think that is what sets the MAC apart from the PC and I have built a few PCs in the last couple of years.

This kit completely transformed my old 2010 Mac Pro Server. It now boots up in seconds instead of minutes. This particular machine is used in pro audio and sound file editing and plug-in performance is much faster. Playback is now much more responsive. Long live the old 2010 Mac Pro Server pro audio beast!

I have owned my Mac Pro for some time and it was getting slow. I bought this product and easily increased my speed. Easy to install.

Very easy to install.

Exactly as described and SSD fits perfectly.

Works perfectly! I love the ease of installation!
