In theory USB3.1 will run at a max of 10Gbps aka. I will try to get an USB 3.1 case to enclose the drive into and see what I get. When I hook up a USB 3.0 case to it, I am able to achieve speeds up to 380Mb/s on a SSD. The card is indeed reported as a simple USB 3.0 card. I am personally hoping that as Apple start shipping more Mac models with built-in USB3.1 that support will improve, so far the only Mac model with USB3.1 is the MacBook 12' all other models are still only fitted with USB3.0. Maybe Apple will then 'fix' this problem. It might be worth considering signing up for Apple's Public Beta program here downloading and testing a test version of El Capitan and reporting the issue.

(Remember there are no third-party USB3.1 drivers for Mac.)

As you are using the built-in Apple driver it is not down to SIP or needing a signed Kernel Extension as might have been the case if you had been using a third-party driver. It would seem from your report which is the only one I have so far seen of a user trying such a card under El Capitan that Apple have unfortunately crippled support for these cards compared to Yosemite. The limited reports I have seen suggest it works identically to the Asus card since they use the same chipset and both rely on Apple's generic driver. Update: I also found this one which seems to have two type-C connectors and no internal power need but I have seen no reports from Mac users about it unlike the Asrock card which has been reported as 'working' under Yosemite. The nearest so far I have seen is this Asrock card but it only has one type C and one type A connector.

This may or may not mean it is limited to USB3 speed.Īs an aside I have been considering getting a USB3.1 card myself for my Mac Pro but had been hoping to get a 3.1 card with two type C connectors and not needing an internal power lead. Of the various USB3.1 cards that I have seen details of listing the chipset used, they seem to all use the same chipset making them from a computer point of view pretty much identical and not needing different drivers.Īpple's Yosemite driver while it does enable these cards at least to work from a basic point of view is not fully USB3.1 aware since it seems the card is only reported as a USB3 card in System Report. There are various USB3.1 cards on the market and none of them come with Mac drivers, all of them rely on using the built-in generic Apple provided USB driver. If needed, card can be sent back to seller. If anyone would be able to help me out, I'd be eternally grateful :-)

If this behavior can be due to the upgrades I performed (Mac 4,1 => 5,1 + 8-Core CPU => 12 Core CPU) ? Or if my card can be defect in any way ? El Capitan has got rid of the earlier USB 3.1 support in Yosemite ? Indeed looking at the System Infos, under 'PCI' give 'USB Extension card'. It seems to be recognized by the Mac Pro. I was wondering if they are still good with El Capitan.

It seems that these reports are under 'Yosemite'. Of course, that card is given as compatible only with Windows.īut I have seen some reports from people claiming to have inserted this card into their Mac and having successfully used it with several devices. I would like to add a PCI USB 3.1 card and I've spotted the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI Card. Looking for some suggestions.As the proud owner of a Mac ro 4,1 (upgraded to 5,1 and with 2 X Xeon Hexa-Core X5670 CPU's) I 'suffer' from one limitation.Īnd that is the now old and really slow USB 2.0. Would there be any 2gb graphics cards that would operate on all three OSs? Or am I stuck with just a 1gb card. I see I have options for some 3gb cards if I'm staying on El Cap and Windows, but it looks like they're not supported on Snow Leopard. When I preview the light show it sounds like there is a hair drier in my computer. I start to run some stage lighting design programs on Windows that are very hard on my graphics card. I run Pro Tools and After effects on snow leopard and plan on normal day to day web browsing on El Capitan.

I recently partitioned one of my 500gb drives that i've never used and put Windows 7 on half and OS El Capitan on the other have with a work around upgrade. I have been running snow loepard for ever now due to some older programs I'm too broke to upgrade.

So I have a mac pro 2,1 dual 3 gHz, 16gb ram, 128ssd/750hd/500hd/500hd, ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB running an Insignia 42' HD tv as a monitor. I've seen some other posts out there about this, but did see my answer anywhere.
