Heavy use tracking the band all week via thunderbolt chassis & HDX. Stuart McCredie got in touch with us to report his finding whilst using his MacBook Pro in response to our story on the new and Old Mac Pro. It has an Integrated 300W power supply provides plenty of power for any cards you install as well as a 75W auxiliary PCIe power connector enables use of power hungry cards such as the Avid Pro Tools|HDX. The xMac Pro Server has 3 PCIe Slots and you can have either, three full-length full-height single-width cards, or one double-width card plus one single-width card and comes with Thunderbolt 2 Interface straight out of the box. Well worry no more, Sonnet, who we announced at BVE subject to Avid making the official announcement are now approved for Pro Tools, have announced the new xMac Pro Server to we available in June 2014. Once it became clear that it was OK on its side, we have seen a number of rack mounted solutions but so far none have gone all the way to meet the needs of those of us that would like to use Pro Tools HD Native or HDX cards and hardware. As we have discussed many times before the New Mac Pro may be a beautiful machine, an impressive piece of design and engineering but for anyone one needing pci-e slots and adding lots of hardware it doesn’t come up to the mark.
