An inexpensive card available from Amazon allows users of Apple's Mac Pro tower with PCI-E slots to get some of the benefits of the new USB-C connector — and faster USB 3.1 speeds. AppleInsider tells you what you need.
For a long time, adventurous Mac Pro users have been fiddling with third-party hardware to extend the life of the systems. For some older gear, the tinkering has mostly come to an end, but properly outfitted, the last two models of the Mac Pro tower can still be competitive with the '6,1' Coke-can 2013 Mac Pro.
The key for some of these adventures sometimes relies on third-party drivers, like for PCI-e graphics cards from Nvidia. However, from time to time, there are solutions that just drop in, and nothing is needed from a software perspective.
Looking to add storage, or for a smart way to back up your Mac? Samsung's Portable SSD T5 drive has a speedy USB-C interface, plenty of. Unfortunately, you won't find many Thunderbolt 3-compatible drives on the market currently. When the drive and the Mac support USB 3.0, speeds can be 10 times faster than USB 2.0. Available through a USB Type-C connection, USB 3.1 enables data transfer speeds double USB 3.0. Developed by Intel in collaboration with Apple, Thunderbolt technology transmits data and display signals in both directions at the same time using the same cable.
Despite not advertising macOS compatibility, Aukey has a macOS 10.11 and 10.12-compatible USB 3.1 Type C card, that AppleInsider has been testing. The Aukey B01AAETL6Y PCI Express card with 2 USB 3.1 Type-C ports does work on the 3,1, 4,1 and 5,1 Mac Pro, and can deliver a full 10 gigabits per second transfer speed from each port.

The card worked driver-free in the 4,1 and 5,1, but was slightly problematic in the 3,1 under El Capitan with periodic disconnects of input devices — but no problems with mass storage. But, why would you want to hook up a keyboard or mouse to USB-C anyway with other ports available?
The card must be powered to completely meet the USB-C specification, and for most of us, the best way is to use to the power leads in the 5.25-inch optical drive bay. Failure to do so prevents the card from functioning. The power extension is child's play, though, especially if you're used to Mac Pro tinkering.
We haven't delved into the maximum power the card can deliver, but an assortment of USB-C hubs and peripherals needing power from USB worked fine.
The Aukey USB-C card isn't compatible with alternate modes, so if you want to hook up a monitor, just get a PCI-E card to do so. Additionally, Aukey could change the chipset on the card at any time in future manufacturing runs — so if this is something you need for your Mac Pro, you probably should get it now!
The Aukey B01AAETL6Y PCI Express card with 2 USB 3.1 Type-C ports retails for $30, but can be found on sale for $16 frequently at Amazon.

USB flash drives are unquestionably one of the most convenient portable storage devices for transporting business files between unconnected computers. These tiny devices can fit on a keyring and provide hundreds of gigabytes of storage. Depending on the storage capacity of the drive, flash drives typically come formatted with the FAT, FAT32 or exFAT file system, which are compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems. Therefore, to open a flash drive on your Mac, you need only attach the drive and open Finder to view its contents.
1.Insert your USB flash drive into your Mac's USB port.
Swift publisher for mac. There are a number of ready-made templates if you're short on time or knowledge of desktop publishing, and the program's drag and drop utility allows you to easily move text and graphics. The program equips you with tools to create stationary, newsletters, business cards and sales promos, among other business documents. PagePlus is available for Windows-based PCs and mobile devices only, so this isn't a viable option for Mac users.
3.Click the name of your USB flash drive in the left pane under 'Devices.' Doing so opens the flash drive and displays its contents in the right pane.
Tip
- Before removing the USB flash drive, hold the 'Ctrl' key, click the USB flash drive and select 'Eject.'
