Can I boot from this card on a mac?

I bought the PCIe 2.0 from Apricorn It boots in my Mac Pro. However it did not want to bootcamp partition on my computer. I needed it so I switched back to just the Hard Drive caddy that docks the SSD drive. To be honest I really can't tell any speed difference. Both work well.I am selling my Apricorn Velocity Solo for $30.00 since I am not using it. Hope this helps. Mike

Cards are hardware, an extension of the system board. Although the system I installed this card in did not need to boot to the (optical) drive I used it for, I would be surprised to learn that it could not be used to do so.

I don't think so, that mac pro would be too old. I'm a 5.1, 2009 model...and to get the speed from this card you need PCI2 2.0

I am using this in my Mac Pro currently. You need to make sure your Mac can use this card though.

It is my understanding that you need to be running 10.8.3 for this card to work under OS X.

pretty sure the answer is yes. the mimiting factor isn't necessarily the hardware, but snow leopard. Instructions for boot from a thumb drive are here:http://www.maketecheasier.com/create-mac-snow-leopard-usb-installer-disk/the HD should also work.

This card works out of the box on Lion 10.7 and ML 10.8 in a Hackintosh. In an actual Mac Pro, I do not know. But I think the card would be detected and the drivers installed the same way. There is no need to download any drivers or install any drivers. The support for the card is built into the Apple OS.

Yes, this is the same computer as I have. I paired it up with more modern cards such as the GeForce 670. Other sires that discuss the video card updates suggested pairing this card with newer one.... allowing one to see boot up while the newer... non-Mac Nvidia came on line. I have a lesser monitor running the single card while the new card drives larger monitors.

If you can find the drivers for the Mac o's then probably. I'm on a custom built windows machine so I've never tried looking. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I'm sorry, but first I don't own a Mac so I would not know, plus I have to say I'm not sure I understand your question, but I will try if it is what i think you are asking. Yes, you can open file(s) directly from the card, Although the read/write would be a faster if the file(s) were copied onto your hard drive fist and worked on from there. I hope i have answered your question.

most definitely it can boot via this card.I am using it as the source for sata drives and have only one HD on itand of course it boots, the bios has to see it then the drive and boot sequence is set in order of preference.

Yes I have a mac I can take the video card out and play it on the Mac. It's.mov file. I'm getting ready to by a 2nd one I might get the g so I can have the mph and gps.

I have not tried booting from it yet. However, if your CPU has options to allow you to select these media, I would think you can.

It will *not* work as a boot drive unless you have at least the 3,1 MacPro (early 2008).

Yes; as long as the micro SD card is readable it is bootable. It can boot OSX and Linux without issue. The one issue I had is that the SD card when kept in the drive can from time to time become disconnected requiring it be pulled out and reinserted.

yes, you can if you choose. you'd just have to set the boot order correctly in the BIOS

Yes, should be compatible using the OSX 10.9 native drivers. Note: installation in a MacPro may also require obtaining a Molex power adapter connector for proper functioning.
