The iMac 'Core i5' 2.7 21.5-Inch Aluminum (Late 2013/Haswell) features a 22 nm 'Haswell/Crystalwell' Quad Core 2.7 GHz Intel 'Core i5' (4570R) processor with four independent processor cores on a single chip, a 4 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM, a 1TB Hard Drive, and an 'integrated' Intel Iris Pro 5200 graphics processor with 128 MB of 'Crystalwell' embedded DRAM (and. Inateck USB 3.0 to SATA I/II/III Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5 HDD, SSD, Up to Support 10TB, with Hard Drive Duplicator/Offline Cloner Function, FD2005 FIDECO USB 3.0 to SATA Hard Drive Docking Station Dual-Bay External 5-in-1 HDD Dock with Offline Clone/Duplicator Function for 2.5/3.5 Inches SATA HDD SSD,Support.

The blade style SSD drives you are referring to are PCIe connected SSD drives. Obviously the internal drive bays are SATA connections. I have not seen any PCIe cards that support both internal SATA connections and PCIe SSD blades.


There might be a card which supports both SATA SSD drives and has an additional connection for other internal SATA drives but then you will not be able to get the extra speed of a SSD PCIe blade drive. The speed of a SATA SSD drive would be the same i.e. SATA III speed whether it is attached to directly on to the SATA III PCIe card like the Apricorn or if it was fitted in to one of the internal drive bays once you have upgraded them to SATA III since both are limited to the same SATA III speeds.


I can see your current list of actual and desired PCIe cards is -


  1. GPU
  2. GPU
  3. USB/eSATA
  4. SSD/SATA


Therefore as you indicate you have potentially run out of slots. What video cards are you using and how many monitors? It maybe more expensive but perhaps getting one faster GPU card with enough ports on it is an answer to free up a slot so you can have both the Lycom card and a SATA card.


If you are willing to settle for just using a SATA style SSD drive which will be less than half the speed of a PCIe SSD blade then you could simply put the SATA SSD in one of the four drive bays which you would have upgraded to SATA III.


My own personal MacPro5,1 is as follows -


  1. GPU
  2. USB
  3. SSD PCIe blade adapter
  4. SATA III card to upgrade the drive bays (via a mini-SAS fan out cable to the MaxUpgrades replacement drive sleds)


One of my now SATA III capable drive bays also has a SATA III SSD drive in it.

Another option for you to consider is getting a PCIe expansion chassis for your MacPro5,1 to provide additional PCIe slots. Map surf_ski_2 cs 1.6. Again not cheap but possible. Something like this http://www.netstor.com.tw/_03/03_02.php?OTc= or the Cubix Xpander Desktop, these use a PCIe card in the Mac Pro and a cable to connect to an external expansion box.

This is my build documentation for an ASUS Z170-A setup with an NVIDIA GTX960 and the Intel i5 6500, most of this came from Storks asus rog maximus build, his audio instructions didn't work for me so it differs substantially there. This build also doesn't have NVRAM. Nearest I can tell everything is running as expected, including all USB and audio ports.

Build

  • Asus Z170-A
  • Intel Core i5-6500
  • Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
  • MSI GeForce GTX 960 4GB Installed in slot 1!
  • (DORMANT) EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC Gaming
  • 2x Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB 2.5' Solid State Drive
  • Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5' 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
  • NZXT S340 (White)
  • Corsair 860W 80+ Platinum
  • 4x Phanteks PH-F140SP_BK 82.1 CFM 140mm Fan

Setup Guide

I. Setup USB Thumb drive

  1. Creating the boot drive
    • Follow steps 1 & 2 of UniBeast Install Guide to setup the drive.
  2. Download and drag to thumb drive

II. BIOS settings (make sure BIOS is up to date)

  1. Ai Overclock
    • AI Overclocker Tuner > X.M.P.
  2. Advanced Items
    • System Agent (SA) Configuration > VT-d > Disable
    • PCH Configuration > IOAPIC 24-119 > Disabled
    • XHCI Handoff > Enabled
    • USB Configuration > Legacy USB Support > Auto
    • USB Configuration > XHCI Hand Off > Enabled
    • APM Configuration > Power on by PCI - E/PCI > Disabled
  3. Boot Menu
    • Fast Boot > Disabled
    • Boot Logo Display > Disabled
    • Secure Boot OS > Other OS
    • Boot Option 1 > USB Thumb Drive, UEFI Volume
  4. Exit > Save Changes

III. Install OSX

  1. At Clover boot screen, choose Boot Mac OS X from USB
  2. Disk Utilty
    • Select Target Disk
    • Erase > Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
  3. Don't bother to enable Network, Location, or Reporting nothing to be done now.
  4. On reboot select MacOS on *Target Drive* on the Clover boot screen

IV. Setting up the Machine Part 1

  1. Multibeast
    1. Drag and drop Multibeast to Application folder
    2. Run Multibeast and select the following settings:
      • Quick Start > UEFI Boot Mode
      • Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > 100 Series Audio Drivers > Disk > 3rd Party SATA
      • Drivers > Misc > FakeSMC
      • Drivers > Misc > FakeSMC HWMonitor
      • Drivers > Network > Intel > IntelMausiEthernet v2.2.0

      • Customize > System Definitions > iMac > iMac 14,2
    3. Save your config
    4. Run and Close
  2. Fixing Ethernet Device Name (needed for apple store etc.)
    • In Terminal run sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
  3. Clover Configurator
    1. Mount EFI partition
    2. Load config file
    3. Change settings in config:
      • Boot > darkwake=0 prevent sleep problems
      • Rt Variables > CsrActiveConfig > 0x67disable SIP temporarily
      • Devices > Audio > ResetHDA > ✓
      • System Parameters > Inject Kexts > Yes
      • System Parameters > Inject System ID > ✓
      • System Parameters > Nvidia Web > ✓
    4. Save
  4. EFI Partition (Already mounted earlier in Clover)
    1. Navigate to `EFI(patition)/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched in the Finder
    2. Copy in the SSDT file you downlaoded for your processor
    3. Rename to SSDT.aml
  5. Reboot

V. Setting up the Machine Part 1

  1. BIOS
    • Set startup partition to newly created OSX EFI partition
  2. Audio setup (because it doesn't work yet)
    • Run the audio_cloverALC120.command file
    • enter password
    • Say yes (y) to all questions (for Asus Z170-A)
  3. In Terminal
    • run ifconfig
    • Check that it returns en0 instead of en1, the line should look like:
  4. Clover Configurator
    1. Load the Clover config file follow steps 1 and 2 from earlier
    2. Select/install EmuVariableUefi in Install Drivers. This creates an emulated NVRAM
    3. Reset Rt Variables > CsrActiveConfig > 0x3to renable SIP
  5. Run the NVIDIA driver
  6. Reboot

Done!
