The return of the TRASHCAN // Mac Pro 2013 with Sintech m.2 adapter m.2, Blackmagic test

Welcome to this video, which sees the return of another Mac Pro to my house after a few years. We are in mid 2023, just after the transition to Apple Silicon "M" chips, so the purchase was made knowing that we were making a choice with an "early-vintage" flavour, like a computer that is starting to become historic, but still usable for contemporary work.

Part of the challenge was to find one of the cheapest Mac Pro 6.1s on ebay - in order to have more room for upgrades - and actually this Quadcore / D300 costs around $300 (to which, unfortunately, a little too many Fedex management charges must be added, I recommend opting for other faster couriers such as DHL and UPS) plus import for a final roughly 400 eur.

Hopefully it has a 1TB Samsung blade which was one of the top setting, with a 4x PCI lane. I did an inspection of the mac and it was so clean, probably professionally before the dispatch.

In the video there's a SSD swap, with the test of the Sintech Apple blade to m.2 adapter, which actually showed a strange result, highlighting a sort of performance limit due to the bus or more probably due to the slow CPU.

You can live in peace with one of these now - finally - cheap Mac Pros "trashcan", with only the reminder that the CPU is quite old and is 22nm: temperatures will rise during workloads like exports and i Final Cut renders.

We'll see you for a next episode where the setting and tuning of this computer will begin with tests on the possibility of expulsion via the Thunderbolt ports.

Thanks for watching this video!

Dear old-school Apple fan, If you buy a used Mac Pro trashcan through my affiliate links, Apple will release a M1 revamp of this machine. :-D
