I bought one of these for my Mac Pro. The benefits have been increased throughput, and freeing up on of the drive bays. It was super-simple to install, and worked straight out of the box. It supports a second SSD, but I wasn't too impressed with the add-on extender to support that, so just have the single drive on it so far. Oh, and one more benefit, the SSD on the Tempo card allows much better airflow than the same SSD in an IcyDock on a drive tray.

This is the easiest and best way to upgrade the disk speed of your Mac Pro. These days the speed bottleneck in most machines is actually not the speed of the CPU, but the speed of the disks. The older Mac Pro machines had SATA2 buses, which limits the speed of more modern SATA3 drives. This card allows you to run your SSDs and other SATA3 devices at their full speed.
