I'm looking at SSD options for my 2012 MacPro Tower 5.1. Right now I have Slots 1&2 taken up with Nvidia GTX-680. Slot 3 Decklink SDI and Slot 5 with the nitris DX HBA. In looking for SSD at OWC I see the adapter that takes a 2.5 inch SSD into the stardard Drive shuttle and there are the adapters for the 3.5 inch drive bays. I even see one for a 3.5 inch drive bay that holds 2.5 inch and a second drive in the bay. There is also the Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express Solid State Drive that also has Esata connections. Trying to compare the functionality of the two choices and if my open Slot 4 has enough lanes for full function of the Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express Solid State Drive. My gut is thinking I should use the 2nd optical bay with an SSD which I assume is the 3.5 inch bay adapter OWC lists and leave the slot 4 for an eSata and usb 3 combo card but this Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express Solid State Drive looks interesting. Anybody got suggestions. I'd hate to lose the slot that could hold a esta usb 3 combo card but perhaps I'm over thinking this.
