Upgrade usb 3.0 to 3.1 for mac pro driver#

Upgrade usb 3.0 to 3.1 for mac pro driver#

Of the various USB3.1 cards that I have seen details of listing the chipset used, they seem to all use the same chipset making them from a computer point of view pretty much identical and not needing different drivers.Īpple's Yosemite driver while it does enable these cards at least to work from a basic point of view is not fully USB3.1 aware since it seems the card is only reported as a USB3 card in System Report. There are various USB3.1 cards on the market and none of them come with Mac drivers, all of them rely on using the built-in generic Apple provided USB driver. If needed, card can be sent back to seller. If anyone would be able to help me out, I'd be eternally grateful :-) If this behavior can be due to the upgrades I performed (Mac 4,1 => 5,1 + 8-Core CPU => 12 Core CPU) ? Or if my card can be defect in any way ? El Capitan has got rid of the earlier USB 3.1 support in Yosemite ? Indeed looking at the System Infos, under 'PCI' give 'USB Extension card'. It seems to be recognized by the Mac Pro. I was wondering if they are still good with El Capitan. It seems that these reports are under 'Yosemite'. Of course, that card is given as compatible only with Windows.īut I have seen some reports from people claiming to have inserted this card into their Mac and having successfully used it with several devices. I would like to add a PCI USB 3.1 card and I've spotted the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI Card.

As the proud owner of a Mac ro 4,1 (upgraded to 5,1 and with 2 X Xeon Hexa-Core X5670 CPU's) I 'suffer' from one limitation.Īnd that is the now old and really slow USB 2.0.
