- Apple® - RAID Card for Apple Mac Pro. Model: MB845Z/A. This item is no longer available in new condition. See similar items below. Assembly Required. Early-2009, mid-2010 or mid-2012 Apple Mac Pro with OS X 10.5.6 or later, Apple® RAID Utility software and either all Serial ATA or SAS.
- The Mac Pro RAID Card offers improved storage performance and data protection to your Mac Pro system up to 553MB/s of sequential read performance in RAID 0. Ideal for video and creative professionals with demanding storage needs as well as for tower server applications, this hardware RAID option supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 0+1, and Enhanced JBOD.
Not sure what to do next, please help. I have recently bought a mac pro which did not come with a Mac Pro RAID card. I was able to obtain a RAID card from Apple but it did not come with install instructions.
I have spent hours with AppleCare support but none of them was able to help me because since the card is so new. I brought it to an Apple store and they told me that the card was missing some cables and they told me that there wasn't anything they could do for me.
This is the only RAID out there which can boot into the OS X which is why I went out of my way to get it from Apple. Apparently, the installation of this RAID card is more involved than just simply plugging it into one the available PCI slots. I am trying to take advantage of the hardware RAID speed (namely RAID 5) so I don't have to worry about backing up my data manually.
If anyone has any ideas or instructions on how to install this card I would be so grateful. Thank you so much in advance.

RAID 10 requires four drives, with each pair of drives first being mirrored (RAID 1), then striped (RAID 0). (Note that to a given RAID level (nested or not), the hardware you’re using must.

It’s no surprise that the 2019 Mac Pro is one of the most powerful and versatile professional grade workstations available in today’s marketplace. And unlike previous platforms, Apple’s new workhorse doesn’t handicap users by limiting storage performance and expandability with a set number of external USB and Thunderbolt™ ports; a wealth of expansion and connectivity options are built right into the innovative new chassis.
Adopting Apple’s latest powerhouse suggests you aren’t willing to settle for anything but the best.
So, why compromise your investment with a conventional storage solution?
