There are firewire 800 ports, but it’s now almost impossible to find a drive that will fit this type of connector.Ī USB-C card such as the Sonnet Tech Allegro USB-C PCIe (USB 3.1 Gen 2 Card with 15W per Port) will set you back around £60-70, a snip for such an easy increase in speed.

Adding USB-C PCIe card is as simple as slotting in a PCIe USB-c card between the Graphics and PCIe NVMe drive, and should take you no more than five minutes. Of all the upgrades to your old Mac Pro, this is the cheapest and fastest ways to give your old tower a power boost.
