Installing an Intel 750 SSD in my mac pro 5,1

Dear Apple community,

Yesterday I bought an Intel 750 SSD PCIe card to install in my Mac Pro 5,1 (late 2010). I had a good look at the specs of my mac, which seemed to support PCIe 2.0. Fine for the Intel 750 so it looks.

Today I received the PCIe card and installed it in my Mac Pro. Unfortunately disk utility doesn't recognise it. The device does show in system information in the PCI section: NVM Express Controller, driver installed: No.

I searched the web for possible compatibility issues and some people wrote that the NVM protocol is not supported on older Mac Pros.... BUT Since the Yosemite 10.10.3 update apple has added the NVMe protocol to OSX so I've read on several forums. And there is a "NVMExpress" item in system information on my Mac as well.

Question: should the Intel 750 card work in my Mac Pro now or in the near future? Or do I need to return this awesome superfast SSD and buy a more old fashion device instead?

Hope anyone knows the answer to this! Thanks in advance!

Meaning it isn't supported? :S I guess I'll return it then. Thanks

NVMe devices will not work as bootable in near future, as Apple maded theyr own propriterary NVMe controller and driver. So, best thing you would get at this moment is buy Samsung SM951 AHCI pci-e blade card and proper m.2 to pci-e 4x adaptor card. Then you will get same blazing fast speed of pci-e x4.

I have this in my 2009 MacPro with a 256 GB Samsung drive and it works great as a boot drive.

You have what specifically? Provide a link to what you have.

He talk about this: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/products/flash-storage/client-ssd/MZHPV256H DGL?ia=831

NVMe version not work as bootable drive.

I have the OWC Product: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/PCIe/OWC/Mercury-Accelsior/S-Carrier

With a Samsung 250 GB SSD mounted to it.

That is not similar nor relevant to using a Intel 750 SSD PCIe card  in a Mac Pro

how so? It is a PCIe sled that holds a SSD drive of any size you choose... is that not what you are trying to accomplish?

No. This is what the discussion is about:

Speeds much fast that the SATA III/6 gb/sec that your SSD gets

Performance

Max Sequential Read

Up to 2200 MBps

Max Sequential Write

Up to 900 MBps

Understood. Didn't mean to dilute the thread - just a viable option that works, granted the speeds are not to your needs.

This is faster than SATA II but slower than NVMe

I purchased this card before reading this thread and, similar to your experience, the card is not recognized by Disk Utility. I have another MacPro 5,1 that I run as an ESXi 6.5 host. I popped this card into it and BOOM — it's instantly recognized and bootable as a VMWare datastore. It's not related to the MacPro firmware — Apple just needs to write a kext for the device.
