There will be a How To Guide but still there will be people who will have questions and we cannot just take care of everything. Neither my team nor I can run it permanently. We can’t keep giving support, we all have wives, kids, work. If you have twenty people to support, that’s a lot of work, but what if you have 30 or 40 people or even more? Need because the MacPro 5.1 was never designed for Thunderbolt.

So that this disaster can be avoided, we make use of OpenCore.Ī) because it fixes the problem regarding EFIī) improves our system in the long run and allows to install newer versions without any additional patchesĬ) also allows us to inject SSDTs into the system, which is what we need in terms of Thunderbolt hotplug. On the old Apple computers the EFI was a pure disaster.

It’s not just installing a card and everything runs without you having to do anything. “Well, not everyone can have the same level of technical knowledge. Create Pro asked for DSM2 for comment about his cards… It turns out that DSM2 wasn’t prepared to lose his intellectual property by just selling modified Titan Ridge card, he would only sell them if you signed an NDA agreeing not to share the firmware he had developed to make this work.

There is also a thread on the Mac Rumours forum, which is in English.

You may recall we posted an article back in March 2019 entitled Mac Pro 5,1 Cheese-grater With Thunderbolt - The Impossible Is Now Possible in which we showed, with the help of Create Pro that it was possible to use a Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge Thunderbolt Card with the caveat that you had to boot the Mac Pro into Windows 10 to load the Windows drivers before rebooting in the macOS to continue working.Ĭreate Pro then discovered a conversation on a German Hackintosh forum discussing a custom firmware one member, DSM2, had created allowing for native compatibility for the Titan Ridge card in macOS.

It is turning out to be a challenge to implement, but we continue to update this article as new information becomes available. We ran AJA System Test on a 64 GB SanDisk Extreme Pro to measure the read and write speeds.Back in late February 2020, we heard that there a solution has been found, which enables MacPro Cheese-grater owners to install a Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 card into a Mac Pro 5,1 and to be able to use Thunderbolt 3 in macOS.

SD card: For digital photographers, SD cards are still a common way to transfer images to a computer.

Ethernet: We verified the connection speed in Network Utility on a Mac, which displays the link speed.

Audio: We tested each dock’s audio inputs and outputs by plugging microphone-equipped headphones into each of the audio jacks, making sure the input or output source was properly set in macOS and monitoring the resulting audio levels.

We’ve found the Power tab in macOS’s System Report to accurately report the wattage of the power source, and we compared the figures stated there against what each company advertised.

Power output: Thunderbolt docks can charge your computer, too, so you don’t have to worry about plugging in a second cable.

(Apple’s late-2020, M1-based MacBooks support only one external display, even if you’re using a dock.) We set each monitor to its maximum resolution and verified that both were performing at the proper refresh rate. Using an array of DisplayPort cables, HDMI cables, and USB-C adapters, depending on each dock’s port selection, we connected our 16-inch MacBook Pro and a pair of 4K monitors to each dock.

Video: Almost all Thunderbolt docks promise dual 4K monitor support at a full 60 Hz, assuming your computer and monitors support it we ruled out any that couldn’t handle two monitors at once.The docks we tested offered a range of port speeds, from USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps to USB. To measure the read and write speeds of each, we ran AJA System Test speed tests using Samsung’s Portable SSD T5 for the USB ports and the now-discontinued LaCie Bolt 3 for the Thunderbolt ports. USB-C ports are less common, as are extra Thunderbolt ports. USB-A, USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 or 4: The “standard” USB-A port is still the most common input for peripherals-including external drives, wired keyboards, and more-and most Thunderbolt docks have several of them.
