Any actual experiences that ensures this to work? My friend is selling me a 2TB 2.5inch 7200RPM drive for my 2nd drive bay Caddy for my MacBook Pro. It was originally formatted for Windows, and I would now like to format it for a MacOS High Sierra environment. Any tips?! Thanks

It's been a great week! I am very satisfied with my current allocation and workflow. I now have two SATA 3 SSDs in RAID 0 - 1TB (512gb x 2) using my two slot Intel C602 controller on the board. And I also have second - four SATA 3 SSDs in RAID 0 1TB (240gb x 4) using four slots of my Marvell...

I have an AsRock EP2C602. I've been happy with my RAID 0 controller setups using the Intel C602 and Marvell slots. HOwever, I hope it's not a dumb question, but I can use the new NVMe SSDs in the market like the EVO 970 along with a PCIe 3.0 x 4 adapter? I've been reading that not all...

Anyone please? Is Mac that different than a PC?
