I found this on ocz/tonymacx86.com, a Revodrive (or apparently Revodrive X2 also, haven't tried that one though) works in OSX by just installing these drivers: (I used the SiI 3124 Mac OS X 10.6 SATARAID5 7/14/2010 2.0.5.0 version) It was super easy and it works wonderful ocz should buy these drivers and sell the old Revo's to us Mac Pro users! I'm using a 2008 mac pro pps. There is some trick to get it to work to boot from the drive, but I haven't tried it. Check on tonymacx86. This page contains information about installing the latest OCZ SSD driver downloads using the OCZ Driver Update Tool. OCZ SSD drivers are tiny programs that enable your SSD hardware to communicate with your operating system software. Windows® 8.1 and later have integrated NVMe™ drivers and don't require additional drivers to complete the setup. Windows® 7 did not support NVMe™ when it was released. Windows® 7 did not support NVMe™ when it was released. RC100 uses Windows ® 10 system driver. Toshiba OCZ NVMe™ driver supporting Windows 10, 8.1 and 7 will be available in a later release. OCZ SSD Utility is OCZ's maintenance and firmware updating software for all OCZ SSDs. It allows for updating SSDs using both the online firmware repository as well as offline updating using firmware pkg (packag.

Hi Boomhowler, Been reading through all these threads about getting SATA3+ performance on older mac pros and sounds looks like a great alternative to getting a PCIe card and doing lots of rewiring. Canon pixma driver for mac. Saw you post a reference to this on another thread but nobody else but you seems to have had much luck with the Revodrive. Can I ask for details in terms of how well the drive is holding up since this post? If you might have tried it on any other systems? Is the drive running in hardware raid as it is meant to? What speeds are you getting? I'm using a mac pro 2008, 8-core, running 10.6.7. Any reason why it might not work that you can see? I've been using a revo x2 in my mac pro for almost a year now. The silicon image reference drivers that boom howler linked to work fine, though I should mention that I'm still running 10.6.8....haven't tested this with lion at all yet. One thing I had to do was to un-check the 'put drives to sleep when possible' setting in energy saver... On my system that would make the revo spontaneously un-mount. That could by unique to my system, tho- I have a pioneer blu ray drive installed as well that is known to have issues with that setting, so it's possible that it was the optical interacting with the revo. Regardless, the revo has not unmounted by itself since I turned that off. Read/write benchmarks are ok, but keep in mind that my revo is my windows boot drive, so it is formatted NTFS. I'm sure the OS X performance is hindered by having to work through the tuxera NTFS driver instead of a native filesystem driver. I haven't done any benching of the revo with HFS+ volumes on it.

It's a Revodrive X2, 240GB variant. It's been used for half a year and is 'half full (or empty.)' now. I use it as the drive which houses the user folders on my computer, and some games (reading in maps takes no-time ). I just bought one of eBay as they are having a major price reduction from the original asking price of $300, now its only $109 w/ free shipping for the 220gb model. I'm bumping the thread to get interest going again as this will be the final touches on my fully supercharged original Mac Pro 1,1 upgraded to 2,1 firmware and SMC, that has been fitted with a pair of x5355 Quad Cores, 32gb ram, ATI HD5870, and now an 220gb SSD PCI-E that I want to use as my boot drive. Hoping I'm not the only one intending to use my 2006 MP until 2016. Thanks guys for all your help! Do these drives and similar work in OS X as non bootable or not at all? I'm kinda thinking I already have an OWC SSD for OS X and an OWC SSD for WIN 7 that work fine for boot disks. I'd really like a fast PCIe card SSD card of pretty substantial size that I could use to speed up selected applications in both OS X and Win 7. I'm also out of drive bays, so PCIe would work well for me. ExFAT could work as the file system potentially for me as I'm mostly happy with it so far. Ocz Revodrive 400So I guess my ideal would be a PCIe 256-512GB exFAT SSD, that I would use from OS X, WIN 7 directly or by using symbolic links to trick programs into using it.
