Looks like this could work for my faster data throughput needs and compatible with my old Mac Pro 1,1. Does the MP 1,1 get the full 6Gb/s or is that for newer Mac Pros? I am aware I would need to by the SSD separately.

The PCIe slots in a Mac Pro 1,1 are 1.0, not the 2.0 required for the Sonnet card.

1.1 MP is PCIe slots are too old for these cards.
Not sure why a 2 drive card, OWCs singe drive card is $50... but
2006-2007 Mac Pro. These models utilize PCIe 1.0 slot which cannot be configured (even with the Expansion Utility in OS X) to address Accelsior S as anything but as a first generation one-lane card. As a result, Accelsior S performance will be limited to 190-200MB/s data rates. If maximum data rate speedis desired, we recommend the installation of a 2.5" OWC Mercury SSD in an open Mac Pro drive bay.
