  • 2 ?s 1 did connecter b do anything b4? 2 why not a pci e to esata card

  • @joshbulldog1661 Yes, the 'B' cable supplies SATA to the second optical bay - but if you're not using it, this is a very cost-effective way of adding eSATA to your Mac Pro. PCIe cards can generally be used as well.

  • Hi - did you ever post the video tutorial for the 2006 Mac Pro ?

  • @PuppiesandBoobs We certainly did. It can be found under our channel as "How To Install the Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable into a pre-2008 Mac Pro"

  • so what does that sata cable you remove do, is it for the extra optical drive slot or somthing

  • @wolferean1production Yes, the 'B' cable supplies SATA to the 2nd optical drive bay.

see all

  • Why would you not just buy a PCI-E eSATA card?

  • Great video, except the music and the narrators speaking style, he sounds a bit cheesy. He shouldn't have spoke more naturally and less "soft and soothing".

  • huh?

  • The installation instruction is superb. I got it all out in less than 15 minutes. It is not as difficult as I thought. And putting it back is a simple process. The only thing a hassle is I got a decklink card on slot 1. Everything under 30 minutes. Got the Voyager USB/Sata. USB won't mount the drives but the Sata connection solved the issue.

    Anyway thanks. I hope u have the video soon, it is still not an easy task for first timers.
