It'll ride on a PCIe card, so the assembly should just pop in - hopefully - and allow continued use of the other four hard drive slots. The new SSD will become the startup drive. Looking forward to the speed bump - and should've done it a long time ago, but the thought that Apple might soon revise their MacPro line to something that has a more open architecture that the current computing cylinder kept hope alive. Obviously that's not happening anytime soon. And hope's run out.
The current system folder carries system data from more than a decade ago - particularly prefs and call home files. So losing those bits may kill some older software. Would you copy the current startup drive over to the SSD to start with or load a brand new system folder and then copy over other items - or forget all of that and do something completely different?
There's probably a best way to do this, and there might be plenty of wrong ways. Just wondering what psotters think.
